Ingredients

• 500 g Lamb (thinly sliced, boneless, such as leg or shoulder)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ground ginger
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or sesame oil)
• 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into half-moon pieces)
• 3 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
• 50 g Pine nuts
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 4 servings Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the sliced lamb, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Increase the heat to high and add the marinated lamb. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked lamb to the skillet, along with the toasted pine nuts and scallions. Add the hoisin sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir everything together to coat the ingredients evenly and cook for another minute.

Step 6

Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy!
