Home Mongolian BBQ Stirfry


This is more of a general recipe to imitate what you may get at a Mongolian BBQ restaurant. You can change any part of this recipe to your own taste.


Ingredients

-Rice or Asian noodles of any sort
-veggies (I like to use celery, cabbage, and carrots, all sliced)
-meat (I like to use pork chops cubed up)
-Soy Sauce
-Mirin
-Fresh Ginger
-Chopped garlic
-Peanut Butter (an old fashion, unsweetened crunchy is best)
-Various stir fry sauce
-spices (salt, pepper, chili powder, ect.)
-Any other ingredients you may like in a stir fry, one suggestion, which I have tried is tofu


Directions
1. Prepare all veggies and rice
2. Cook the meat. For my pork I heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan. Add the pork, along with equal amounts of mirin and soy sauce, plus salt, fresh garlic, powdered ginger, and pepper. I find a little black is a good thing on this.

.

3. Once all is prepped, create sauce which may include any combination of the stir fry sauces, soy sauce, mirin, spices, garlic, ginger, and peanut butter. (You could just use one of the bottled sauces, but I find you can make a much better one by mixing it. Also the peanut butter is one of the most important components.) In addition to these ingredients add water so that the mixture becomes creamy. Once you the mix is complete add desired veggies and meat.

4.Heat fry pan on high heat, you want the pan as hot as possible. Add water to the pan, just enough to cover the bottom (it should boil). Add the mixture of sauce, veggies and/or meat to the pan.





5. Put several scoops of rice on top of the veggies mix. This will act as a lid, and help steam the veggies. Be sure to keep adding water to the pan. There needs to be water in it the whole time, about an inch.




6. After severl minutes mix the rice in the rest of the mix. If you want the veggies cooked longer, be sure to keep water in the pan. Keep adding water and mixing until cooked to your desired amount. Once the veggies are just right, stop adding water and allow the sauce to reach desired thickness, once there, remove from pan.




7. This will be extremely hot and takes a long time to cool down. So enjoy with caution.
