MONGOLIAN CHICKEN
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.

Steps:
- Place chicken strips and cornstarch in a large resealable plastic bag. Shake to coat.

Steps:
- Mix beef and cornstarch well and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
- Heat 4 cups vegetable oil and fry beef until it is crispy. Remove beef from oil.
- Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and add chopped garlic, rice wine, soy sauce, and beef. Stir-fry well.
- Add sugar and continue stirring for 1 minute.
- Add sliced yellow onion and green onion. Stir.
- Add white pepper. Stir well.
- Add sesame seed oil. Remove from heat and serve.
Tips:
- To save time, slice the flank steak against the grain before stir-frying.
- Marinate the flank steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- When stir-frying, use a large skillet or wok over high heat to ensure that the beef cooks quickly and evenly.
- Add the beef to the skillet in batches, so that it doesn't overcrowd and steam instead of stir-frying.
- Cook the beef until it is browned and slightly charred on the outside, but still pink in the center for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the sauce and cook until thickened.
- Serve the Mongolian beef immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
Conclusion:
Mongolian beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its tender beef, flavorful sauce, and crunchy vegetables, it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give Mongolian beef a try.
