Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground lamb
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
• 4 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 4 servings Cooked white rice or lettuce cups

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add vegetable oil and allow it to heat for about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the ground lamb to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, if needed.

Step 4

Push the lamb to one side of the skillet and add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the empty space. Stir-fry for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix the ginger and garlic into the cooked lamb.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Pour the sauce over the lamb mixture and stir well to coat evenly.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Add the sliced green onions and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir to combine, reserving a few green onions for garnish if desired.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 10

Serve the minced lamb hot over steamed white rice or in lettuce cups. Garnish with reserved green onions for extra freshness.
