Ingredients
- Sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon sambal or chili paste with garlic (optional)
- For the chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I use thin filets), cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon rice wine
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon prepared ginger (comes in a tube
- ¼ cup arrowroot (can use cornstarch if you prefer)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, cut into ½ inch pieces
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce.
- Coat the chicken with the arrowroot and set aside.
- In a small bow, mix the rice wine, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.
- Pour over the chicken. Let it marinate (at least 15 minutes) while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat, and then add the chicken. Stir fry until browned.
- Pour in the sauce and mix well.
- Add the bell peppers and cook until softened but still crisp.
- Top with chopped green onions and serve over rice.
This is exactly what I wanted to eat after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. All the lavish dishes and desserts left me wanting my all time favorite cuisine. Plus the fact that I wanted to give a twist to the traditional Mongolian Beef and try it with chicken instead.
I have just a tad bit more celebrating to do it 2015. My birthday is in a couple of days and then there is New Year’s celebrations. After that I am embarking on a weight loss challenge for 6 to 12 weeks.
You will most likely see more lean protein and healthy carbohydrates on the blog. Take the challenge with me to see if you can achieve your weight loss goals too.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
