Mongolian recipes are usually made with sliced beef but I decided to use chicken and add a little more veggies 🙂 The base of this sauce is soy sauce sweetened with brown sugar. I also have some other Asian Chicken recipes on my blog that I make very often!
I’ll link them here:
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Crispy Sesame Chicken
Healthier Honey Sesame Orange Chicken
The sauce can be made ahead of time to be left in the fridge. You can also marinate the chicken overnight for more flavor!
