Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 2 mangoes peeled, pit removed, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • zest of 1 lime
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 inch piece galangal or ginger peeled and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

Chicken:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into thin 2 inch long slices
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and sliced
  • 3-4 tablespoons coconut milk optional
  • 1 mango cubed, optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Jasmine rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a blender, add sauce ingredients: chopped mangoes, chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Blend until smooth. Add a little sugar if too sour or more chili sauce to add spice.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the chicken slices and coat well. In a wok or large pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Once thoroughly heated, fry coated chicken slices until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove to towel lined plate.
  • Clean out wok and reheat to medium high heat. Add the red pepper slices and blended mango sauce. Bring the sauce to a low boil and reduce to medium low heat. If too thick, add 3-4 tablespoons coconut milk. Continue to simmer until red pepper just begins to soften, 3-4 minutes.
  • Gently stir in chicken slices and add cubed mango if desired. Simmer until chicken is heated through.
  • Serve immediately with jasmine rice and cilantro.
