Fried Lamb With Spring Onions Recipe

This is a classic Beijing "meat and vegetable mix" recipe, in which the lamb can be replaced with either beef or pork, and the spring onions by other strongly flavored vegetables, such as leeks or onions.

     Ingredients

  • lamb fillet - 350-400g

  • spring onions - 6-8

  • Chinese rice wine - 1 tbsp

  • dried wood ears - 15g

  • sesame oil - few drops

  • yellow bean sauce - 2 tbsp

  • light brown sugar - 1 tsp

  • corn flour paste - 2 tsp

  • fresh ginger - few small pieces

  • light soy sauce - 1 tbsp

  • vegetable oil - 1 1/4 cups

      Method

  • Slice the lamb thinly, marinate with rice wine, corn flour paste, soy sauce and sugar for 30-45 minutes.

  • Chop the spring onions. Soak the wood ears in water for 25-30 minutes, then drain and cut into small pieces.
