Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken Marinade:
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless chicken breast or thighs thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • For the Stir Fry:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper red or yellow, sliced
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 cup ripe mango diced or sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
  2. Toss sliced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let sit for 10–15 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
  3. Make the Sauce:
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, honey, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  5. Stir Fry the Chicken:
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  7. Sauté the Veggies and Mango:
  8. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger for 2–3 minutes. Add mango and cook for 1 more minute.
  9. Combine and Cook:
  10. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss everything to coat. Cook 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  11. Serve:
  12. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over jasmine rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use firm, just-ripe mangoes so they hold their shape when stir-fried.
  • Add snow peas or broccoli for extra color and crunch.
  • Make it spicy with a dash of chili flakes or Sriracha.
  • Great as leftovers — store in the fridge up to 3 days.
