Add the chicken, ham and sauce, and cook, stirring, for about five minutes.

Add the rice, cilantro, diced omelet and peas, and cook, stirring with more soy sauce to taste or a bit of vinegar if needed, until all the ingredients are combined and the rice acquires a uniform tan color. Add diced mangoes and toss with the rice to combine.
