Ingredients

• 400 g Lamb loin or leg (thinly sliced)
• 200 g Rice noodles
• 120 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sambal oelek (chili paste)
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 large Carrot (julienned)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced)
• 4 stalks Spring onions (sliced)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse under cold water, drain, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, and cornstarch until smooth.

Step 3

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Season the sliced lamb lightly with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot wok for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the lamb and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the carrot and red bell pepper slices to the wok. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

Return the cooked lamb to the wok along with the cooked rice noodles.

Step 8

Pour the orange sauce over the contents of the wok. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.

Step 9

Finish by drizzling sesame oil over the stir-fry and adding the sliced spring onions. Toss again to combine.

Step 10

Serve hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.
