1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili oil
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Sauce
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons fish sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 small ripe but firm mango, peeled and cut into cubes

Cooking:

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves. Set aside

2. Place a stir-fry pan over high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
