Hi everybody
welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
Today, I'm going to show you how to make
Mongolian BBQ or mong-gu kao-ruo at home
mong-gu means Mongolian
and kao-ruo means barbecue in Mandarin Chinese
when I was young
we used to go to Mongolian barbecue restaurant a lot
because I get
to enjoy watching live shows
as well as eating some delicious
personalized stir-fried dishes
here is the ingredients overview
keep in mind that
each individual bowl
can have more or less of certain ingredients
depending on the person's taste
we've also added optional items like
baby corn
spinach
tofu and
red onions to our mixture
play around with different
sauces also according to your taste
you can start with the cabbage first
since cabbage is the main ingredient for
Mongolian barbecue
prepare as much as you need to serve your guests
next is carrots
you will want to make sure
to cut them into small strips
so it's easier to fit lots into your bowl
the same rule applies for the green onion
cut them about the same length as the carrots
and then into small thin strips
for the button mushrooms
all you need to do
is slice them into small pieces
remember you want the larger vegetables thin
so you can fit plenty of other
ingredients into your bowl
for cilantro
just mince them into small pieces
you can leave the baby corn as is
or slicing them into small pieces as well
mince garlic into tiny pieces
by crushing them with the
side of your blade
to make mincing easier
the easiest way to prepare some
juicy ginger bits
is by using a ginger grater
all you do is rub a piece of
ginger onto it
and it makes the perfect fresh ginger
in a bowl, you'll be adding
the following ingredients
the beauty of Mongolian barbecue is
there's no set menu for ingredients
you can add more or less of those ingredients
so let's get started
when adding ingredients into your bowl
be sure to strategize how you want everything to fit
since we sized
everything into small pieces
and makes it a lot easier to arrange everything
into the bowl
we are also adding broccoli
and red onions into our bowl
another common ingredient is noodles
but we are replacing that
with tofu and a side of rice
for sauces
our mixture has
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of cooking wine
1 tsp of lemon juice
and 1 tablespoon of chili oil
so the key for making a good Mongolian barbecue
is to have a powerful stove
preferably a gas stove
and you want to also preheat the wok
to high
so you can stir-fry the
ingredients as quickly as possible
so the vegetable comes out very crispy
As Mrs. Lin mentioned
be sure to allow your wok to heat up
before adding in any ingredients
woks are the best and most useful cooking utensil
when preparing dishes like Mongolian barbecue
be sure to thoroughly cook your meat before
putting in your bowl of vegetables
and to frequently stir your entire mix for
about 2 minutes
until everything is fully cooked
you can now add the sesame seeds
as a final topping to your Mongolian barbecue
and there you have it
your own personalized mixture of Mongolian barbecue
Mongolian barbecue is a great party food
you can invite a group of friends over
and stir fry individually created bowls
