Ingredients
  

Recipe Ingredients
  • 2 cups Jasmine Rice Dry measure
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast Cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil High smoke point
  • 2 cups Mango Puree Freshly blended ripe mango
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Honey For gloss and sweetness
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 3 stems Green Scallions Sliced on a bias
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds Black and White mix

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet Non-stick or cast iron preferred for searing
  • 1 Pot with Lid For steaming jasmine rice
  • 1 Blender To puree the fresh mango

Method
 

Cook Rice
  1. Rinse 2 cups (370g) of jasmine rice. Combine with 3 cups (710ml) of water and simmer covered for 15 minutes until fluffy.
Sear Chicken
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and sear until golden-brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Glaze and Serve
  1. Lower heat to medium. Add mango puree, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Stir until the sauce is thick, glossy, and coats the chicken.
  2. Serve chicken over rice. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes.

Notes

Use very ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and glossy texture.
Ensure the chicken is patted dry before searing to get that perfect golden crust.
