I would like to learn how to make a Mongolian BBQ type of meal at home. I would like to upgrade to an electric wok to make this a little bit easier. I am not sure how one gets the thinly sliced frozen meats that they use, or which sauces give it an authentic flavor. Maybe I will have to try it and make a video or something? I am sure people would get some laughs out of it.
