Ingredients

• 500 grams Lamb shoulder or lamb cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 inch Ginger (grated)
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced)
• 150 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
• 100 grams Snow peas
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the lamb in a large bowl and season with five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spices into the meat to coat evenly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the lamb and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on both sides for 2-3 minutes until browned. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5-7 minutes, basting with the leftover marinade. Set aside and cover loosely with foil to rest.

Step 5

In a separate pan or wok, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the vegetables along with sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Toss until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.

Step 7

Slice the rested lamb into portions and serve alongside the stir-fried vegetables. Drizzle any remaining juices from the lamb over the top for extra flavor. Enjoy!
