Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds of chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
- Cooked jasmine rice for serving
If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with tofu. Simply drain and press the tofu, then follow the same steps for marinating and cooking.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces without overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced mangoes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the mangoes. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you desire more heat, feel free to sprinkle additional chili flakes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving, and enjoy the dish over a bed of jasmine rice.
A little tip from my kitchen to yours: if you want to make the sauce thicker, you can mash a few mango pieces against the side of the skillet as they cook. It thickens the sauce while enhancing the mango flavor.
