Mongolian Chicken
Sweet and Savory Mongolian Chicken with Garlic Soy Glaze
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Cooked white rice or noodles, for serving
Directions:
Toss chicken slices in cornstarch until well coated. Shake off excess.
Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add chicken in batches and cook until golden and crisp on the outside, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, water, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
Return cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions over a bed of rice or noodles.
