Lamb Stir-Fry Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb sirloin of lamb, fat removed,
and thinly sliced
=== MARINADE ===
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp finely-minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 large egg white
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes - (to 1/4), optional
=== VEGETABLES AND RICE ===
2 cups instant rice, cooked in an equal
amount of water according to package
directions
Vegetable oil cooking spray, as needed
1 garlic clove, minced
2 scallions, white part and 3" green, thinly sliced
4 oz sliced mushrooms
6 oz snow peas, strings removed
2 tbsp dry sherry
= (or Chinese cooking wine)
1/2 cup low-sodium canned beef broth, fat removed
6 oz mung bean sprouts
1/4 tsp sesame oil
Fresh cilantro sprigs, chopped

Recipe Instructions:

Place the lamb in a shallow dish. In a small measuring cup, combine the marinade ingredients, whisking until well combined. Pour over lamb, stir, and set aside while you prepare the vegetables and remaining ingredients.

Prepare the rice and set aside. Keep warm.

Spray a large nonstick skillet or wok with the cooking spray; place over high heat until pan sizzles when tested with a few drops of water. Add the garlic, scallions, and the lamb with marinade. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until lamb is browned.

Add the mushrooms and snow peas. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the sherry and beef broth; stir until sauce thickens.

Just before serving, stir in the bean sprouts and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 1 minute.

Divide the rice between 4 plates (we like to use large shallow soup or pasta bowls) and top with 1/4 of the lamb-vegetable mix. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
