Lamb and Vegetable Stir Fry with Chili Mint

This is a simple recipe that includes plenty of flavor and heat due to the ample amount of mint and jalapeno peppers used while cooking it. You can even throw in some finely chopped bamboo shoots and spring onions to give it an extra crunch. If you like pineapple, chop up some pieces and put them in towards the end of the cooking time, to add some sugariness to that spicy flavor! This vegetable and lamb stir fry can be enjoyed by everyone who loves Asian food.

Spicy Orange Lamb

This is a fantastic lamb dish with orange and some Asian flavors. Oranges can have a fairly subtle flavor so the idea is to season the sauce without overpowering the flavors of the orange. Basically you want to balance the flavor of the orange with the saltiness from the soy sauce, some relish from the vinegar, a bit of sweetness from the honey and some chili heat. The end product is a dish of moist lamb covered in a sauce with the aroma and flavor of oranges.
