Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with cornstarch and set it aside.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl, adjusting sugar and salt to taste, then set aside.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a skillet, then stir-fry the onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper until they’re fragrant and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil, add the chicken, and cook until the surface turns white. Add the mango cubes and stir continuously until well combined.
- Add the sauce, along with the onion and bell peppers. Adjust salt and sugar to taste, then dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
Notes
- I stick with chicken thighs for extra juiciness and flavor. They’ve got a bit more fat, so they stay moist and have a rich taste that’s just right with the mango sauce.
- I coat the chicken in a cornstarch marinade to keep it tender. Cornstarch locks in the juices, giving the chicken a nice, silky texture.
- I go for ripe mangoes to balance sweetness and tang. A ripe mango adds fresh sweetness and a bit of tang, perfect for the savory sauce.
- I make sure not to overcook the dish as the mangoes might break apart and become too mushy.
