This recipe is based loosely on two of my other recipes: Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef and Slow Cooker Spicy Orange Chicken. It’s a great recipe if you want to have Chinese takeout at home. The recipe uses frozen stir fry vegetables. Mongolian beef usually has carrots in it, but I like the addition of broccoli and snap peas in this version. You can get a steam-in-bag version, or steam them on the stovetop. A Couple Cooks has a good post on how to steam vegetables. I usually do mine right from frozen and don’t thaw first. I didn’t include instructions for cooking the rice. Love & Lemons has a good post about how to cook rice.
