Day 1 Sesame Noodles And Lamb

Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 boneless lamb chops, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1/3 cup soy sauce or 1/3 cup mock soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
• 1 tablespoon warm water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 lb wheat pasta
• 1/3 cup soy sauce or 1/3 cup mock soy sauce
• 1/3 cup sesame oil
• 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
• 1/2 cup green onion, sliced
• 1/3 cup sesame seeds

Recipe

• 1 mix 1/3 cup mock soy sauce, garlic, 1/4 cup sugar, water and ginger together in a bowl.
• 2 add lamb pieces and marinade in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• 3 at medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to a large nonstick pan. make sure it's nonstick because the sugar in the marinade is a nightmare otherwise.
• 4 add the lamb pieces, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before adding the lamb to the pan. throw out the marinade when all lamb pieces are in the pan.
• 5 cook the pieces about 10 minutes or so, stirring and turning pieces to get all the sides.
• 6 while the lamb is cooking, get a small bowl and mix 1/3 cup mock soy sauce, 1/3 cup sesame oil and 1/4 cup turbinado sugar, making sure all the sugar is dissolved.
• 7 boil noodles and drain, then place in a large bowl.
• 8 pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and toss with the green onions and sesame seeds.
• 9 as the lamb pieces finish cooking, add to the noodles and then serve.
• 10 when i say wheat pasta i am talking about semolina, durum or any type of asian noodle that uses only wheat flour and water -- no eggs. this recipe needs a noodle like thin spaghetti or angel hair, but thicker noodles work fine. i would not use shaped pasta like penne or macaronis.
• 11 if you leave the ginger in, don't have it again for 4 days (or turmeric or cardamon).
• 12 i have submitted the recipe for mock soy sauce (day 1 mock soy sauce). we use that because we can't have soy and wheat on the same days.
