Step-by-Step Instructions for Sizzling Mongolian
  1. Coat the protein by sprinkling cornstarch over the thinly sliced beef, chicken, or tofu in a bowl. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Sear the protein in a heated skillet over medium-high heat with oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Infuse the flavors by adding minced garlic and grated ginger to the same pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds.
  4. Mix the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, brown sugar, water, hoisin) in a bowl, then pour them into the skillet, simmering for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Combine the seared protein with the sauce, tossing everything together in the skillet for 1-2 minutes to coat evenly.
  6. Finish by stirring in cut green onions and allowing them to soften in the sauce for about 1 minute.
  7. Serve hot over rice or noodles, optionally topping with sesame seeds or chili flakes.
