CRISPY MONGOLIAN LAMB



Crispy Mongolian lamb image

Braise lamb breast with aromatics then grill until crisp and serve with noodles for a cheap but chic meal for two

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 breast of lamb , about 750g
thumb-size piece ginger
2 garlic cloves , crushed
6 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
150ml Shaohsing rice wine
2 tbsp soft light brown sugar
1 round lettuce , leaves separated
3 spring onions , cut into finger-length pieces then shredded
¼ cucumber , cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the lamb in a casserole dish with a lid. Add remaining ingredients plus enough water to just cover. Cook with the lid on for 3 hrs until the meat is tender and the bones pull out easily. Allow to cool still covered in the cooking liquid with the lid on. You can do this 1-2 days in advance and let the lamb cool completely in the fridge. This will make the next step easier.
  • When cold, lift the lamb out of the liquid and transfer to a baking tray. Skim fat from the sauce. Reserve half the sauce for the noodles (in 'Try' section, below) and bubble the rest, still in the pan, until thick and syrupy. Pour into a small serving bowl. Heat grill to medium and grill lamb until crisp and hot through, but not too dark.
  • Shred the lamb, discarding most of the fat and all the bones, but keep the nice, crisp skin. You can cut the skin off first and leave it in a hot oven while you shred the rest of the meat. To serve, take everything to the table and eat the lamb rolled up in the lettuce leaves with the cucumber, spring onions and sauce, plus the noodles on the side.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your Mongolian lamb stir-fry. Choose fresh, tender lamb, and use a good quality soy sauce and oyster sauce.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the lamb and vegetables. Make sure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Cook the lamb in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of lamb, cook it in batches to prevent the wok or skillet from becoming overcrowded. This will help to ensure that the lamb is cooked evenly.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Adding them towards the end of cooking will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve immediately: Mongolian lamb stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the lamb is tender and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Mongolian lamb stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make a Mongolian lamb stir-fry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
