Best Mongolian Chicken Recipe revealing 3 secrets to rich flavor that will make your meals unforgettable and full of bold taste

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 green onions, sliced thinly on a bias

    • Instructions

  • Toss your chicken pieces with cornstarch in a large bowl until each piece is lightly coated.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same pan, lower heat slightly. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir quickly and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, water, and add the brown sugar. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar and combine everything well.
  • Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and looks glossy.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing well to coat each piece in the sticky sauce. Cook together for 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
  • Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Toss in the sliced green onions right before serving.
