Ingredients
2 Tablespoons peanut oil
½ cup raw cashews
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
2 Tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 heaping Tablespoon Thai chili jam
1 small red bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 scallions, sliced into big pieces
1 cup diced mango
Directions
Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet with heavy bottom over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the raw cashews and toast them, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
Add the chopped garlic to the same pan and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the thin-sliced chicken breast to the pan along with the fish sauce, brown sugar, and Thai chili jam. Stir-fry continuously for about 1 minute until the chicken begins to cook through.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, yellow onion, and sliced scallions to the pan. Continue stirring and cooking for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables become tender-crisp and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Add the diced mango and return the toasted cashews to the pan. Toss everything together gently for 30 seconds to combine flavors, then remove from heat.
Divide the stir-fry among serving bowls and serve hot alongside jasmine rice.
Comments
Thai chili jam and fish sauce are your obstacles here. Fish sauce you can find at Harris Teeter or Kroger's international aisle, but Thai chili jam—the branded kind recipes like this depend on—means a special trip to an Asian market, likely outside your usual Charlotte loop. Ingredient-wise, everything else (chicken, peppers, onions, mango, cashews, peanut oil) is standard weeknight fare at any chain. The 30-minute claim is honest if you buy pre-cut mango and don't fuss with the stir-fry heat, though fresh mango adds $2–3 to the bill; cost per serving lands around $4–5 depending on chicken price, which is reasonable. The dish doesn't hold well overnight—reheated stir-fry is limp—so plan to eat it same night. It's a good fit for a family that likes heat and doesn't mind the extra pantry hunt; budget the Asian market stop if you don't stock chili jam already.
