Mongolian chicken. An Americanized Asian dish, but no less delicious for it. Crispy chicken, in a sweet &amp; spicy sauce, Mongolian Chicken is so easy to make!

chicken breast

vegetable oil ((plus ⅓ cup for frying))

ginger ((julienned

red chili peppers ((optional))

garlic ((chopped))

scallions

water chicken stock

cornstarch ((mixed with 1 tablespoon water))

Mix the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, until the pieces are evenly coated. Dredge all of the chicken in the cornstarch, shaking off the excess until the chicken is just lightly coated.

Heat ⅓ cup oil in a wok over high heat. At this point, if the chicken has absorbed the cornstarch and gets moist again, dredge the pieces again before frying. Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the chicken pieces evenly in the wok, and fry for 1 minute, or until browned and crispy.

Turn the chicken, and let the other side fry for another 30 seconds or until browned and crispy. Transfer to a sheet pan or plate lined with paper towels. The chicken should be fried on all sides with a crusty coating.

Drain the oil from the wok, leaving 1 tablespoon behind, and set over medium high heat. Add the ginger fry for 20 seconds, until fragrant. Add the dried chili peppers, if using, the garlic, and the white portions of the scallions. Stir fry for another 15 seconds, and add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock (or water). Bring the sauce to a simmer, and stir constantly until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.

Let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes, and slowly stir in the cornstarch-water mixture until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Add the chicken and the green portions of the scallions. Toss everything together for another 10 seconds.

There should be almost no liquid--the sauce should cling to the chicken. If you still have excess sauce, add more of the cornstarch slurry, and increase the heat slightly. Stir until thickened.

soy sauce (I used low sodium)

carrots

corn starch

green onions and sesame seeds,

white rice

In a medium bowl, add ginger root, garlic, soy sauce, 1 cup water, brown sugar and hoisin sauce.  Stir or whisk well to combine.

Set your Instant Pot to the saute setting.  Add olive oil.  When olive oil is heated, add chicken and saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Pour mixture over chicken and stir to combine.  Add carrots and stir again.

Turn your Instant Pot off.  Place the lid on and lock.  Steam release knob should be set on &#8220;sealing&#8221;.

Cook on manual setting (high pressure) for 8 minutes.  Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure.

Carefully remove lid and stir. Turn off Instant Pot.

Prepare the cornstarch slurry by whisking together cornstarch and 1/3 cup cold water in a small bowl or large measuring cup until smooth.  Add to sauce and stir to combine.  Turn on the saute setting and continue to stir until slightly thickened (about 2 minutes).  Turn off your Instant Pot.  Sauce will thicken as it sits (about 5 minutes).

Serve over cooked white rice (if desired) and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

This is amazing! I had everything but the hoisin sauce, only had full chicken thighs so I just cut out the bone and skin and chopped it up, will definitely make again with boneless chicken next time.

This was absolutely delicious. My mother loved it so much and she is a hard sell. I crave chinese take out quite frequently and this is a perfect substitute. I cut the sugar by about half and added 1 tsp of pepper flakes for some extra kick. I also used cauliflower rice! Thanks so much for sharing! Will definitely be making this again!

We loved it! I shared it with several people. They all agree tastes great and so easy. We have now added water chestnuts and baby corn. :)

Made this tonight and it couldn't have been easier or quicker!! (I confess to being out of dark brown sugar so added a dab of molasses, and had run out of hoisin sauce so used leftover Bibimbap sauce I had from a meal this week :) The flavor was incredible and chicken was soooo tender. My husband loved it too. Definitely adding this recipe to the regular rotation. Thanks so much for the inspiration and sharing this awesome recipe!!

Made this dish last night. It was good but family agreed, we prefer the Mongolian Beef over the chicken. And as I did with the beef recipe, I cut back on the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and added some red pepper flakes. YUM!!!!!
