Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb (boneless, thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 green onions (sliced into 2-inch pieces)
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. In a mixing bowl, toss the thinly sliced lamb with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the starch.
Step 2
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the lamb in batches to avoid overcrowding, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the lamb and set aside.
Step 3
3. In the same wok, reduce the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
4. Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and red chili flakes (if using) to the wok. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 5
5. Return the browned lamb to the wok and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 6
6. Add the sliced green onions and stir well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the onions are slightly wilted.
Step 7
7. Serve the Mongolian lamb stir-fry over warm jasmine rice. Garnish with sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
