Savory and slightly sweet Mongolian-style chicken with tender soy-glazed bites, scallions, and a hint of garlic and ginger—ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2–3 green onions, sliced (whites and greens separated)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or ½ tsp chili garlic sauce
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Coat sliced chicken with cornstarch evenly and shake off excess.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Set aside.
  3. Add garlic, ginger, and green onion whites; sauté 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return chicken to the pan, toss to coat, and cook another 1–2 minutes.
  6. Stir in green onion tops.
  7. Serve over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and more scallions.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Adjust sauce sweetness and saltiness as desired.
  • Add veggies like broccoli or bell pepper for variety.
  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
  • Great served over jasmine rice or lo mein noodles.
