This Mongolian chicken is a smooth and savory-sweet sauce of crisp chicken breast stir-fried. A favorite restaurant that tastes even better at home! The crispy chicken is covered in Mongolian sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar combinations. This dish is also flavored by the garlic, ginger, and green ointments added during cooking. You can use chicken thigh in this platter if you are not a breast fan. I have done it before, but it is fabulous. Or try some completely different things and use shrimp instead of chicken. Whatever the way you ‘re serving it, you should enjoy making this recipe. Mongolian chicken is a hit
