Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon oil vegetable or sesame
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water optional, for thickening
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving
  • Chopped cilantro or green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken strips and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and vegetables. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and stir to combine.
  5. Add mango chunks and cook for another 2 minutes, just until warmed through.
  6. If desired, stir in cornstarch slurry to slightly thicken the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve over rice or noodles, and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions

Notes

  • Use firm, just-ripe mangoes to keep them from getting mushy.
  • Swap in pineapple for a fun variation.
  • Great with jasmine rice or rice noodles for a tropical fusion feel.
