Prepare the mango-lime glaze: In a small saucepan, combine diced mango, lime juice, honey, red chili flakes, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens. Remove from heat and carefully blend until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender, then set aside.
