What’s the difference between Mongolian and Schezuan chicken?

When it comes to these two Asian chicken dishes, there are a few key differences. One of the biggest differences is the sauce itself. Schezuan sauce is sweet and spicy, with an added emphasis on spicy, as it is made of peppercorns. Chicken Mongolian dry, on the other hand, uses a milder, Hoisin sauce and brown sugar to create a sweet flavour, but not as spicy as Schezuan. Additionally, Mongolian Chicken is often stir-fried with vegetables like onions and peppers, while with Schezuan chicken the veggies are optional. In this way, the two dishes are quite different from one another. Now, let’s see why Licious chicken mini-bites are the perfect pairing for Mongolian chicken.

Instructions

  1. Coat the chicken with cornstarch until it is evenly covered.
  2. Add some oil to a skillet and place it on medium to high heat. Fry the cornstarch-coated chicken pieces until they turn a golden brown colour. 
  3. Wrap them in a paper towel and set them aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger. Keep it aside. 
  5. Heat some more oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
  6. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the fried chicken and stir it with the onion and garlic. If you skipped frying, continue to stir the chicken for at least 8 minutes until turns brown.
