Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken: In a medium bowl, mix chicken strips with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and honey. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Heat oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Cook chicken: Toss in the marinated chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked.
  5. Add vegetables: Stir in chopped green onions and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the veggies are tender yet crisp.
  6. Thicken the sauce: Mix in the cornstarch and water mixture, stirring for another minute until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Serve: Plate your Mongolian chicken over rice or noodles for a hearty meal. Enjoy while hot!

Notes

For added crunch, consider topping with crushed peanuts or cashews. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
