Units
Scale
- 6 ounces fresh ginger
- 1/2 pound deboned leg of lamb
- 1/2 Tablespoon brown bean sauce (hoisin)
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Chinkiang black vinegar (preferred) or use Balsamic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed in 1/2 cup of water
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey – TFD prefers chestnut honey, but any will do
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil – TFD uses only Kadoya brand
Instructions
- Wash and peel the ginger root.
- Cut it into small pieces then mince it in a food blender with two tablespoons water.
- Strain the ginger through a wire screen or fine mesh strainer. It will yield about ¼ cup of juice. (Any extra juice may be kept in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for several days.)
- Cut lamb into thin strips about one to two inches long; then mix it with brown bean sauce, sugar, and cornstarch and set it aside.
- Mix vinegar, soy sauce, Shaoxing, one tablespoon of the ginger juice (or more to taste), and the cornstarch and water mixture.
- Heat two tablespoons of oil in a wok and stir-fry lamb mixture for two minutes. Remove it to a dish and drain removing the excess oil. Set aside.
- Add one tablespoon oil to the wok, then add the honey and stir until it bubbles, then add the ginger juice mixture and stir until this thickens.
- Next, add the lamb mixture and the sesame oil and cook for a minute or two.
- Remove from the heat and serve with hot rice.
