Equipment

  • Large skillet, wok, or flat griddle
  • Tongs or spatulas
  • Serving bowls
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients
  

For the Protein:

  • 1 lb chicken breast flank steak, shrimp, or firm tofu (cut into thin strips)

For Vegetables:

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 carrot sliced thin
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 1 zucchini sliced

For Noodles or Starch:

  • 1 cup udon noodles or rice noodles, zucchini noodles, or egg noodles

For Mongolian BBQ Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low-sodium
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ginger puree
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce optional for heat
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes optional for heat

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Protein: Slice your chosen protein into thin strips (about 1/4-inch thick). Marinate with soy sauce, black pepper, and a pinch of baking soda to tenderize (for beef).
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Slice all vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Cook the Noodles: Pre-cook noodles according to the package instructions. Set aside.
  • Heat the Skillet: Preheat your skillet, wok, or griddle to 475-490°F (medium-high heat). Make sure the cooking surface is hot to create the right sear.
  • Cook the Protein: In batches, stir-fry the marinated protein until crispy on the outside (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Set aside.
  • Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Start with harder vegetables like broccoli, then add the softer ones like mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  • Combine and Add Sauce: Add cooked protein, pre-cooked noodles, and Mongolian BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir to coat everything with sauce. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes for the sauce to thicken.
  • Serve: Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or crushed peanuts. Serve hot!
