What lamb to use for stir fry?

Now I do a life hack when I cook this dish and buy pre-sliced lamb from the hot pot section of my local Asian supermarket. However, if you are buying lamb and slicing it yourself, that is just fine too!

Here are some recommended cuts of lamb for stir frying:

Rump

The rump is an individual muscle cut from the hind leg of the lamb. It’s very tender and has a lot of flavor with a layer of fat too. This is a great cut for stir fries!

Tenderloin

Similar to beef tenderloin, lamb tenderloin is very tender and and also has a velvety texture. This cut is great for stir fries also!

Leg

The leg of lambs has is also a tender cut, and has a strong flavor. It’s great sliced or cubed – and also makes a great cut of lamb for stir fries.

I bought our lamb from our local Asian grocery store – but if you can’t find any around your area, you can try online meat delivery services! Some of them are really good – For example, Crowd Cow – they ship to anywhere in the US other than Alaska and Hawaii sustainable and healthy meats/seafood!

How much lamb should I buy per person?

About 1/3 of a pound of boneless lamb is a good amount per person. Technically one serving is 3 oz per person, but I haven’t met anyone that ate 3 oz and thought that was enough (unless there were other dishes involved).

How to Stir Fry Lamb with Asparagus

First, gather and prepare your ingredients:

1 lb lamb, sliced thinly
Marinade:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
1 stalk green onions, cut 1 inch
1 lb asparagus

Combine lamb and soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch in a large bowl or zip lock bag. If you are about to cook it, let it marinade at the very least 15-30 minutes. If you are making this ahead, cover and refrigerate, and then remove from fridge 30 minutes before cooking.

In a large nonstick cooking pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add sliced ginger, garlic and lamb, and stir fry everything until lamb is mostly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

If pan is too dry, add another 1-2 tbsp of cooking oil. Then, add asparagus to pan and stir fry for about 1-2 mins or until the asparagus is bright green.

Return lamb to the pan, add green onions, season with salt as desired, and then stir fry for another 30 seconds, or until asparagus and lamb are cooked thoroughly.

Remove from heat and serve!
