Ingredients
  

Stir Fry Components

  • 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed and then cut in 1" cubes (or 1 lb. boneless chicken thighs or breasts cut into 1" pieces.)
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups celery ( sliced on the bias into 1" pieces, about three stalks of celery)
  • 1 8 oz. can water chestnuts (sliced)
  • 1½ cups mango (diced, fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • ¼ cup cashews (halves or whole cashews both work)

Sauce

  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
  • 3 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1½ teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 1½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon sambal oelek (optional, add as much as you'd like)

Instructions
 

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to dissolve the cornstarch.
  • Heat skillet on medium-high heat and fry cubed tofu until golden on all sides. For chicken, stir fry until cooked through and all moisture has evaporated. Remove the chicken or tofu to a separate plate.
  • Add water chestnuts and celery to the skillet and stir fry for 3 minutes or so, until the celery starts to get tender.
  • Add stir-fry sauce, mangoes, cashews, and the tofu or chicken you set aside earlier to the skillet.
  • Stir fry for 1-2 minutes longer, heating the sauce until it boils and thickens.
  • Serve the stir fry over rice.
