Got a tray of mangoes from Costco last week and surprisingly, they were pretty good. Anyway, since I had lots of mangos, I tried out a Mango Chicken dish that I saw in the recipe book.
Verdict: It was ok. I think I should have used fresh orange juice instead store-bought OJ ‘cos that made the sauce a little thick.
Edited to add recipe: (sorry for the long delay.)
2 pcs chicken thigh
mango – shredded
onion – shredded
red chili – shredded
Marinade for chicken:
1 egg
1 tsp ginger juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Ingredients for sauce:
250ml fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp plum sauce
1 tbsp chili sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
corn flour for thickening
1. Marinade the chicken thighs for 3 hours. Coat with corn flour and deep fry till golden brown. Drain & cut into small pieces.
2. Mix all sauce ingredients together and bring to a boil. Thicken with corn starch slurry. Add in the shredded mango, onion & red chili. Mix well & pour over chicken. Serve while hot.

Looks yummy! Is the green stuff celery?
This is definitely an appetizing dish! Looks lovely too
Looks great but I’m not a mango chicken person.
I bought some mangoes the other day. Not very sweet and a bit hard, so maybe I should try this instead of making rojak?
EMWK: Thanks! It’s cucumber.
Tigerfish: Thanks!
LCOM: This is the 1st time I try mango chicken too…:p
