TINY Kitchen Magic Mongolian Beef Made Healthy!
One of my favorite things is figuring out healthy-hacks for some of my most-craved meals.
You know the sort - the kind of meal that elicits actual drool from your salivary glands before your first bite.
The kind of food that literally makes you sigh with happiness, and maybe - just maybe - do a little wiggle dance in your chair after your first taste.
Yep, that kinda meal.
Enter Mongolian Beef. Oh, so good, but healthy? Not so much.
Determined to find a way to make this at home without extra oil or anything fried, I experiemented in The TINY Kitchen for months until I finally came up with this version and can I just say that it's pretty effin great? Yes, it's different than what you get in a restaurant, but it is packed with just as much flavor and a lot less of the bad stuff. And it is SUPER easy and quick. Perfect for those nights you want a hearty and delicious meal STAT.
ENJOY!
