Stir-fried Mango Lala

Lala is a delicious when cook in a simple stir-fried way. But lala has a lot of mud sticking around its flesh. You have to make sure the lala are fresh when you buy. Soak lala in water for 10 minutes and rinse. Big size lala is better which has bigger flesh. I use the small mango, the one that use in rojak.
