Ingredients

  • 1 lb lamb thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 inch grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional
  • green onion tops sliced (for garnish)
  • sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. If using, dissolve cornstarch in a couple of tablespoons of water and add it to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic infused oil and grated ginger. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the thinly sliced lamb to the pan. Cook until the lamb is browned on all sides.
