Steps

1. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
2. Cut the mango in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thick strips.
3. Grill the mango slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the mango is slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

5. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and fresh cilantro.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes until well combined.
