Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.25 pounds chicken breast diced into small pieces, boneless, skinless
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- coleslaw mix shredded green cabbage and carrots, one 14-ounce bag
- ½ cup soy sauce reduced-sodium, up to 2/3 cup
- 2 to 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- 1.5 to 2 cups Mango diced in 1-inch cubes (frozen may be substituted)
- ⅔ cup peanuts I use either honey-roasted or salted
- ⅓ cup cilantro for garnishing or to taste, fresh
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large skillet add the oils, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat until done, about 5 minutes; flip chicken intermittently to ensure even cooking.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the coleslaw mix (looks like a lot but wilts quickly), evenly drizzle the soy sauce (if you like your dishes on the ‘saucy’ side use 2/3 cup), hoisin sauce, add the pepper, stir to combine, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until cabbage is wilted and tender; stir intermittently.
- Remove from the heat, add the mango, peanuts, and stir to combine.
- Evenly sprinkle with cilantro, sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Notes
- Store the cooked dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- Use diced frozen mango if fresh is unavailable; thaw before adding for best texture.
- Adjust soy sauce amount to suit taste and desired sauciness.
