This was my second time making this and it's a quick, tasty weeknight meal. Both times I made it with the suggested jasmine rice and steamed snow peas in which I also threw in some sliced carrots.
Mongolian Beef
This spicy Asian favorite gets its flavor from hoisin sauce and dark sesame oil. Hoisin sauce is a versatile, sweet-and-spicy condiment that is used in Chinese cooking and dining much the same way Westerners use ketchup. The dark sesame oil imparts a distinctive nutty taste and aroma to the dish. Serve with boil-in-bag jasmine rice and steamed snow peas.
