How do you do the mongolian chicken?

sweetandsavorymeals.com/instant-pot-mongolian-chicken/

• I use a normal non stick pan to sauté the chicken with the cornflour first
• I prefer boneless thigh as it’s juicier
• I use a normal pan not a pressure cooker or the pot described in the recipe
• half the sugar
• eat with rice or noodles

So simple to make . You basically stir fry the chicken in the cornflour for a bit , add the sauce and simmer . It’s delicious !

Mon: oven baked tofu, quinoa and random veg at the bottom of the fridge
Tues: fish tacos
Weds: beef rigatoni for DC (they’re cooking) I’ll make my sauce out of mushrooms and lentils
Thurs: thanksgiving feast
Fri: potluck and outdoor movie at a friends
Sat: DD’s birthday so her choice
