Here is another one of my favorite quick dinners. I came up with this after visiting several different Mongolian restaurants and realized I could adapt this easily to a a fun dinner. To me, a Mongolian barbecue is more like a fun stir-fry but with incredible flavors. It’s very versatile and could even be made vegetarian, most likely (although, I would not have a clue as to how to go about making vegetarian). With this style dish, you can fix a family-style batch or make individual dishes for each family member, mixing and matching each person’s favorite ingredients. The key is to stack the flavors at the right time to ensure that the the meal gets a clean finish and all the meats are cooked properly. In most Mongolian restaurants they cook their barbecue on a round, flat-top grill (which I will have someday); however, at home, I cook it all in a wok. This is definitely a meal recipe for the amateur and could be easily spiced up by a pro. Dig in have fun and make some killer combinations.
