Saucy Chicken with Mango
Since Ace is refrained from eating red meat, Chicken will be a handy rescue and his fave, my baked chicken rubbed with Basil leaves and potato and carrots on the side.
Anyway, Saucy Chicken with Mango is another chicken recipe that I wanted to try. I am sure he will love this. I just hope I could find leeks at the supermarket. Boneless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces will also work well in this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 3 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 kilogram chicken legs and thighs
- 1 piece chicken bouillon cube, dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 cup chopped leeks
- mango cubes from 2 ripe mangoes
Cooking Instructions:
- Make the sauce. Dissolve cornstarch in water in a small bowl. Add soy sauce, sugar. Stir. Set Aside
- Over medium low heat, add oil to a large pan and immediately put ginger in the pan while the oil is still cold. Cook the ginger until the edge starts to brown. Add onion and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the chicken, then the dissolved chicken bouillon. Cover. Cook for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a big platter.
- In the same pan, pour the cornstarch-soy sauce mixture. Boil for about 3 minutes. Put the chicken back into the pan and toss, making sure the pieces are coated with the sauce.
- Add leeks. Stir. Cook for 5 minutes more. Add mango. Stir and serve.
