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.

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on the outside and juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

6.15.19 Wasn t quite sure about the ginger puree. What I used was the ginger paste in a tube that you can find in the produce department at the supermarket and it worked great. Particularly loved the sauce and I could see with a little addition of cornstarch it would make a great sauce for stir fried veggies as well. Super quick and easy to make as well as tasty and I m sure it would be equally good using pork. Winner recipe! Read More

Whole family loved it! I might cut back a little on the soy sauce since it was a bit salty. I used ginger paste and added lightly steamed broccoli during the final stir fry toss. I also marinated the meat in soy sauce, ginger and garlic for about 30 min and put the cornstarch in the original sauce that was put on the stovetop rather than on the chicken itself. Read More

Great recipe! I added carrots, onion, bell peppers and broccoli to this to round out the meal. Using a cast iron skillet, the only thing I would change is to add the cornstarch to the sauce instead of coating the chicken with it, as it stuck to the bottom of the pan while browning. This one is a keeper! Read More

Absolutely loved this recipe! Made it once with my girlfriend, once on my own -- definitely fun to cook as a pair since one person can cut meat while the other can coat/fry. As my local Walmart was out of some ingredients during quarantine, I replaced the corn starch with rice flour, and I replaced the green onions with scallions. Read More
