Mango beef

This Ken Hom recipe is an example of the "New Hong Kong Cuisine," and fast to prepare too. Hong Kong chefs have adapted mango to new uses, as in this recipe. The soft texture and sweetness of the fruit offer wonderful contrasts to the taste of beef. Delicious to serve as a main course for either a family or a formal meal.
