Step 2 : Fry the Chicken
Add Oil in a pan and fry the chicken till it is light golden brown on medium flame. You can either shallow fry or deep fry both.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce for Mongolian Chicken
- To Prepare the sauce for the chicken You need to add a little bit of oil in the pan(use the same oil you used to fry the chicken) and fry 3 cloves of garlic till it is golden brown.
- Once garlic is golden brown add in the Soy and chili sauce 2 tbsp each along with 1 tbsp of vinegar.
- Then add a little bit of water to avoid the garlic and the sauces to burn.

- Now add green chilies and 1 and half cup of water.
- Now add the corn flour slurry that we prepared earlier.

- Once the slurry is thick you can turn off the flame and sprinkle some sesame seeds to make it look more good.
