Impress guests at your party with these flavorful Chinese-style lamb cutlets.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tsp Szechuan peppercorns (see note)
  • 2 cinnamon quills, broken
  • 2 wide strips mandarin or orange zest, finely chopped
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) dark soy sauce
  • 40.00 ml Chinese rice wine (shaoxing - see note)
  • 4 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 4cm piece ginger, grated
  • 36.40 gm peanut oil
  • 16 lamb cutlets, French-trimmed
  • 1/2 long red chilli, seeded, finely chopped (see note)
  • 62.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • 27.60 gm vegetable oil
  • 4cm piece ginger, finely grated
  • 31.50 gm light soy sauce
  • 30.00 ml Chinese rice wine (shaoxing - see note)
  • 30.00 ml Chinese black vinegar (see note)
Instructions:
  • Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Toast peppercorns and cinnamon until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zest, dark soy sauce, rice wine, spring onions, ginger, and oil. Bring to a simmer. Pour the marinade over lamb in a bowl, coat the lamb, and let it marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • To prepare the sauce, warm oil in a small saucepan over gentle heat. Saute ginger and garlic for 2 minutes. Incorporate sugar, light soy sauce, rice wine, vinegar, and 125ml (1/2 cup) water. Simmer briefly, then cook for 2 minutes, stirring to melt the sugar.
  • After draining the lamb and discarding the marinade, brown the lamb in two batches in a large frying pan over medium heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Return all lamb to the pan and coat with sauce, bringing it to a simmer.
  • Place the lamb on a platter and spoon the sauce from the pan into a small bowl. Top the lamb with chili, coriander, and spring onion. Serve with the sauce and lime wedges.
