Lamb Mince and Miso Stir Fry
This Lamb Mince and Miso Stir Fry is a delightful fusion of East meets West, drawing flavors from Japanese miso paste intermingled with succulent Australian lamb. The result is an umami-rich dish that is both comforting and exciting, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably organic
2 tbsp vegetable oil - for frying
1 large onion - sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic - finely minced
1 tbsp ginger - grated- 2 tbsp miso paste - preferably red miso for a deeper flavor
2 tbsp soy sauce - low-sodium recommended
1 tbsp sesame oil
½ lb broccoli - cut into small florets
1 large carrot - julienned
2 tbsp sesame seeds - toasted, for garnish
2 stalks spring onions - finely chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced onions and sauté until they start to caramelize, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the lamb mince, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Continue to cook until the mince is browned all over and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce. Mix until the miso is well incorporated and the lamb is coated.
- Add the broccoli florets and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, then remove the pan from heat.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped spring onions before serving.
Notes
To intensify the umami, consider adding a splash of sake or mirin. For a vegetarian twist, substitute lamb with minced mushrooms.
