  • 1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ts Sugar

"Here I have combined the lamb with orange for a lovely contrast to the
rich meat. The tartness of the fresh orange peel works well to balance the
robust taste of the lamb. It is an easy dish to make and the spicy flavours
add to its appeal. Serve it with plain rice and vegetables for a wholesome
meal. K.H."

Cut the lamb into thin slices 5cm long, cutting against the grain. Put the
lamb into a bowl together with the marinade ingredients. Mix well and leave
for about 20 minutes.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high heat until it is very hot. Add
the oil and, when it is very hot and slightly smoking, remove the lamb from
the marinade with a slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir fry it for 2
minutes until it browns. Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or
sieve. Pour off all but about 2 teaspoons of the oil.
Re-heat the wok or pan over a high heat and then add the ginger, garlic,
orange zest and peppercorns. Stir-fry for 20 seconds. Then return the lamb
to the pan, add the rest of the ingredients and stir fry for 4 minutes,
mixing well. Serve the dish at once.
