Servings:
4
  • 1 lb lamb loin (sliced thinly)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with water)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar.

    Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Lamb

    Add sliced lamb to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

    For better flavor, marinate overnight.
  3. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding ingredients.
  4. Cook the Lamb

    Add the marinated lamb to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  5. Add Vegetables

    Stir in bell pepper, broccoli, and green onions, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.

    Vegetables should be tender but still crisp.
  6. Thicken the Sauce

    Mix cornstarch with a little water and add to the skillet, stirring until sauce thickens.

    Remove from heat immediately after thickening.
  7. Serve

    Serve hot, drizzled with sesame oil and sprinkled with red pepper flakes if desired.

    Pair with steamed rice or noodles.
