Mongolian Chicken

Description

If Mongolian beef is your go to when it comes to Chinese take-out, I challenge you to try this version made with chicken instead. The chicken is melt-in-your-mouth tender and requires no marinating time as beef would. Serve over rice.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ginger puree

  4. Whisk together garlic
  5. ginger puree
  6. Sriracha
  7. sesame oil
  8. rice vinegar
  9. brown sugar
  10. and soy sauce. Add mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened
