Mongolian Chicken
If Mongolian beef is your go to when it comes to Chinese take-out, I challenge you to try this version made with chicken instead. The chicken is melt-in-your-mouth tender and requires no marinating time as beef would. Serve over rice.
Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into thin strips

Description

Place chicken strips and cornstarch in a large resealable plastic bag. Shake to coat.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on the outside and juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Whisk together garlic, ginger puree, Sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Add mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes.
