  • 4 oz thinly sliced lamb
  • ½ tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a frying pan over medium low heat and add cumin seeds, Sichuan peppercorns, and coriander seeds. Toast until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Transfer to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind until coarse. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine lamb, 1 tsp of the ground spice mix, Shaoxing wine, salt and 1 tsp neutral oil.
  3. Mix until lamb is fully coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles for 4 minutes. Then, rinse noodles in cold water to stop the cooking, drain and set aside.
  5. In the same pot, heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil and sauté the garlic clove, ginger, green onion, cinnamon stick and a pinch of the ground spice mix for 1-2 minutes. Then, add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of beef broth and bring to a boil. Then, add ramen spice packet, soy sauce and sugar and stir until fully combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and simmer for 3 minutes.
  6. Add the bok choy and simmer for 2-3 more minutes until slightly softened. Take off heat and set aside.
  7. Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in the frying pan over medium high heat and add lamb. Sear on one side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, and sauté until cooked through. Set aside.
  8. Add ramen noodles to a bowl and top with the lamb and bok choy. Strain broth and pour all over and garnish with chili oil and cilantro. Enjoy!
