This lightning-quick stir-fry gets its exotic flavor from a low-calorie combination of garlic, ginger, Chinese five-spice seasoning, and bright green onions.
Serve it with steamed rice for an out-of-the-ordinary light meal.
Trim and discard any fat from lamb; slice into bite-size strips 1/8 inch thick.
In a medium-size bowl, mix lamb, five-spice, egg white, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce.
Let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend remaining 2 tea-spoons cornstarch, remaining 4 tea-spoons soy sauce, sherry, and water in a small bowl.
Cut off white part of each onion, then cut in half; cut two 1 1/2-inch-long sections from each green top, discarding remainder.
Heat oil in a wide nonstick frying pan over high heat.
Add meat mixture and cook, stirring, until lightly browned (2 to 3 minutes).
Return to bowl.
