Ingredients
  

For Frying the Chicken

  • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts or thighs 500 g, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Neutral-flavored oil for frying

For the Mango Sauce and Stir-Fry

  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 2-3 green chilies chopped (adjust to spice preference)
  • 1 large onion cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup bell peppers cubed (1-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch blended with a small amount of water to create a smooth slurry
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ripe mango peeled and cubed
  • Chopped spring onion greens for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare and Fry the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with cornstarch, all-purpose flour, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and black pepper. Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok and fry the chicken pieces until golden and crispy.
  • Make the Mango Sauce and Stir-Fry: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add chopped garlic and green chilies, sautéing until aromatic. Add cubed onions and bell peppers, stir-frying for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Sauces and Seasoning: Pour in soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, red chili paste, tomato ketchup, and rice vinegar, stirring well to coat the vegetables.
  • Combine and Thicken: Add water and the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the mango cubes, allowing them to soften and infuse flavor into the sauce.
  • Toss the Chicken: Add the fried chicken pieces to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the mango sauce. Let cook for 1-2 minutes for flavors to meld.
  • Serve: Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
