Start by washing your mango to remove any dirt or debris on the skin. Then stand the mango up with the flat side facing down and cut off the thick sides from top to bottom cutting around the seed. Use your knife to cut the flesh from each of the sides from top to bottom, four lengthwise cuts should do it.
