Ingredients

Scale

Protein Options

  • 8 oz chicken breast, beef strips, or firm tofu, sliced into thin strips

Noodles

  • 8 oz traditional egg noodles

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 2 tbsp water (optional, for thinning sauce)

Aromatics & Vegetables

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced

Oils & Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (for finishing)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Protein: Slice your chosen protein—chicken breast, beef strips, or tofu—into thin, bite-sized strips. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance natural flavors.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. Toss noodles with a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant. Add sliced bell peppers and green onions, cooking just until tender-crisp.
  4. Cook the Protein: Push the aromatics and vegetables to the side of the pan. Add your protein strips and cook until browned and cooked through, stirring often for even cooking.
  5. Make the Mongolian Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), and a splash of water. Pour the sauce over the cooked protein and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles back into the skillet. Toss everything together to fully absorb the sauce. Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor depth.
  • Don’t overcook noodles; al dente texture holds sauce better.
  • Adjust sweetness and saltiness of the sauce to your taste.
  • Cook protein separately or apart from vegetables for better browning.
  • Garnish just before serving with fresh green onions or toasted sesame seeds.
