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.

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

Whisk together garlic, ginger purée, 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.
