Ingredients

  • 500g lamb backstrap, cut into 1½cm pieces

  • 3 tbsp peanut oil

  • 4 spring onions, cut into julienne

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • pinch of freshly ground white pepper

  • chilli oil, to serve

For the marinade

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp shaoxing wine

  • 2 tsp sugar

Method

  1. 1. To make the marinade, mix together the garlic, soy sauce, shaoxing and sugar.

    2. Add the lamb to marinade mix, leave for 1 hour, then drain.

    3. Heat a wok over high heat until just smoking. Add the peanut oil and, when hot, stir-fry the lamb in batches until well browned, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from the wok.

    4. Add the spring onions to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, pepper and lamb. Toss to coat the meat with the sauce, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat to a serving plate. Simmer the sauce for about 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens. Pour over the lamb and serve with chilli oil.
