MANGO CHICKEN STIR FRY...

I used to say that sweet and savoury had no business being on the same plate, not because id tried it and hated it but because i just couldn't imagine the struggle of flavours. friends would laugh and point out that i like sweet and sour meals and i'd say that was different, the only exception. Then i had a Hawaiian pizza with pineapple... Lets just say i'm about to start cooking with a lot of fruits...

Mango season is here!!!

I don't like a lot of fruits but i like mangoes, came across this recipe and thought to try it out and it was delish! The right combination of savoury and sweet... whats not to love?

This recipe serves 2...or 1 very very hungry fellow. :)

250 Grms Boneless Chicken Breasts (Cut Into Strips)
1 Ripe Mango (Peeled and Chopped)
1 Carrot (Sliced Into Thin Strips)
1 Cup Spinach (Cut Into Ribbons)
1 Spring Onion (Chopped)
Green and Red Bell Peppers (Sliced)
250 Grms Rice Vermicelli Noodles
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Get about 4 cups of water boiling for your rice noodles.

Lightly season your chicken with a bit of salt, ginger and garlic while you deal with the other cutting and slicing business or allow it to sit for 30 minutes before you begin to cook if you decide to cut the long process short by getting a stir fry veggie mix bag...

Add a tablespoon of oil to a pan and stir fry chicken for about 5 minutes or until it begins to brown, take it out and set aside.

Add the remaining oil then add spring onions and mango. Fry together for about 2 minutes.

Your water must have boiled by now, add noodles to a bowl and cover with hot water and set aside for just 2 minutes.

Add remaining vegetables to pan and stir fry for another minute.

Add soy sauce and sweet chili sauce, stir and taste for seasoning. Season lightly so we don't mask the flavours of the mangoes and fresh vegetables.

Add chicken back into the pan.

Drain rice noodles, add to the stir fry in the pan and toss together...

Voila, an easy lunch/dinner in less than 20 minutes.
