HOW DO YOU MAKE MONGOLIAN CHICKEN?
This recipe starts with thin pieces of chicken breast. I recommend partially freezing your chicken breasts to make them easier to slice. You can cube your chicken if that’s easier.
The crispy chicken pieces are coated in which is a combination of soy sauce and brown sugar. This dish also gets its flavor from the garlic, ginger and green onions that are added in during the cooking process.
This is a quick and delicious Mongolian chicken recipe that’s both sweet and savory. A healthier alternative to the classic Mongolian beef preparation with ingredients that pack a punch!
