Chicken and Mango Stir Fry
The flavour combination of chicken and mangoes may be unexpected but it really works in this stir fry! If you make it spicy, the sweet complement of the mangoes is ideal. Serve it on either brown or white rice. You could substitute pork for the chicken. Just remember to add the mangoes at the very end of cooking so they retain their firmness.
