Ingredients
- Either 2 New Zealand lamb leg steaks-chilled, or thawed if frozen, and cut into strips
- or 270g/approx 9½ oz the same amount of frozen diced New Zealand Lamb- thawed (see tip)
- 200g/7 oz pack vegetable crudités, such as baby carrots, baby corn and mangetout, strips of pepper and spring onions (see tip)
- 1 tsp. ginger paste
- 3 tbsp. teriyaki marinade (see tip)
- 3 tbsp. orange juice
- 1 tbsp. oil toasted sesame seeds, to garnish (optional)
Method
1. Stir fries need to be cooked really quickly so get your ingredients ready before you start cooking, including cutting the meat into strips if using leg steaks, and chopping up vegetables if necessary.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add lamb and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Add corn and pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add mangetout, teriyaki marinade mixture and continue to cook for 3 minutes until all the vegetables are just cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds (optional).
Tips and hints
- Teriyaki marinade is a blend of soy sauce, wine and spices and is one of loads of different ready-made marinades and stir-fry sauces you can get from any supermarket. Keep a couple in your cupboard and experiment until you find a favourite.
- If using frozen diced lamb, allow 5 minutes for it to defrost in the microwave before adding to the wok.
- If using frozen leg steaks, defrost in the microwave and discard the bone before cutting into strips.
- A good alternative to crudités would be to use a pack of ready-prepared stir-fry vegetables.
