20-Minute Mango Chicken Stir-fry
Description
The recipe starts by combining Thai sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, and fresh lime juice to create a balanced sauce with sweetness, saltiness, and acidity. Chicken strips are stir-fried in neutral oil over medium-high heat until cooked through. Then green pepper slices are added and cooked until just tender-crisp. Finally, the sauce is poured in and mixed to evenly coat the ingredients.
Mango slices and green onions are stirred in last, warming gently without breaking down to maintain their fresh texture and bright sweetness. This quick cooking preserves the contrasting textures: tender chicken, crisp peppers, and juicy mango. The dish serves well with steamed rice to complement the saucy stir-fry.
The simplicity of the ingredients and minimal cooking time makes this dish suitable for a fast weeknight dinner or casual meal. All steps focus on layering flavors and textures without lengthy preparation.
