Servings 4

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 12 oz Thinly sliced lamb meat
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

Sauce

  • 3 tsp corn starch
  • 3 tsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tsp Chili paste (optional--I omitted it)
  • 3 tbsp Hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 1/4 tsp Five spice powder
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 C Chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil

Stir Fry

  • 2 tbsp high-smoke oil such as canola or grapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (about 1/2 inch, sliced thinly then cut into strips)
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
  • 2 Bok Choi, chopped
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 4 green onions, cut into 2" lengths
  • 1 Carrot juilienned

Instructions
 

Method

  • Place the meat in a metal bowl with the marinade and toss to coat. Marinade for at least twenty minutes but up to a day in the refrigerator.
  • Slice the ginger and garlic. Slice and dice the vegetables. Prepare the sauce.
  • Heat oil in skillet over high heat for at least five minute
  • Add diced onions and stir-fry for thirty seconds. When they start to color, add garlic and toss. (Add the green onions later, with the rest of the vegetables)
  • Add lamb and cook for three minutes. It should change from red to brown and some pieces will have golden brown surfaces.
  • Add vegetables, and stir fry another couple of minutes
  • Add sauce, stir, and let simmer for one or two minutes until thickend.
  • Add the carrots at the very end. You want them to still have some crunch, and the thin jullienne strips will turn limp in just a few seconds of heat.
  • Serve over rice.
