Spicy Orange Lamb

Ingredients:

450 g Lamb chops lean boneless
3 tbs Groundnut oil
1 1/2 ts Ginger root finely chopped
2 tbs Garlic thinly sliced
1 tbs Orange jest grated
1 ts Szechuan pepper
2 tbs Orange juice
1 tbs Dark soy sauce
2 ts Chili bean sauce
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 ts Sugar
2 ts Sesame oil

Marinade

1 tbs Light soy sauce
2 ts Rice wine or dry sherry
1 ts Sesame oil
2 ts Cornflour

Methods:

Roasted and finely ground (optional). “Here I have combined the lamb with orange for a lovely contrast to the rich meat. The tartness of the fresh orange peel works well to balance the robust taste of the lamb. It is an easy dish to make and the spicy flavors add to its appeal. Serve it with plain rice and vegetables for a wholesome meal.

Cut the lamb into thin slices 5cm long, cutting against the grain. Put the lamb into a bowl together with the marinade ingredients. Mix well and leave for about 20 minutes. Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high heat until it is very hot. Add the oil and, when it is very hot and slightly smoking, remove the lamb from the marinade with a slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir fry it for 2 minutes until it browns. Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or sieve.

Pour off all but about 2 teaspoons of the oil. Re-heat the wok or pan over a high heat and then add the ginger, garlic, orange zest and peppercorns. Stir-fry for 20 seconds. Then return the lamb to the pan, add the rest of the ingredients and stir fry for 4 minutes, mixing well. Serve the dish at once.
