🍗 Mongolian Chicken Recipe (Easy Takeout-Style Stir-Fry)

Make restaurant-style Mongolian Chicken at home with this quick and easy stir-fry recipe! Crispy chicken tossed in a savory soy-garlic sauce — perfect with rice or noodles. 

Introduction

This Mongolian Chicken Recipe brings restaurant-quality flavor right to your kitchen! Crispy, tender chicken coated in a glossy soy-garlic sauce with a hint of sweetness — perfect over steamed rice or noodles.
Inspired by the classic Mongolian Beef, this version is lighter yet equally satisfying, making it one of the easiest and most flavorful Asian dinners to whip up in 25 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 500g boneless chicken breast (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp oil (for frying)

For the sauce:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water to thicken)

For garnish:

  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Coat the chicken:
    Toss the sliced chicken in cornstarch until evenly coated. Shake off excess.

  2. Cook the chicken:
    Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.

  3. Make the sauce:
    In the same pan, add garlic and ginger. Stir for 30 seconds, then add soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.

  4. Thicken the sauce:
    Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce becomes glossy and thick.

  5. Combine:
    Return the chicken to the wok, toss until coated in sauce, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  6. Serve:
    Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with jasmine rice or noodles.

💡 Tips for Perfect Mongolian Chicken

  • Slice the chicken thinly for quicker cooking.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy version.
  • For extra crunch, lightly double-fry the chicken pieces.
