Irresistible Mongolian Chicken

Print Recipe

A deliciously sweet and savory dish inspired by Mongolian cuisine, featuring stir-fried chicken with a crispy coating and a glossy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine sliced chicken, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add chopped green onions, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in brown sugar, water, and hoisin sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and toss with the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot over a bed of steamed rice, garnished with more green onions if desired.

Notes

For added nutrition and color, consider incorporating bell peppers or snap peas. You can also marinate the chicken ahead of time for deeper flavor.
