Cumin Lamb Stir Fry
Cumin Lamb Stir Fry
"Thin slices of lamb stir fried with dark soy sauce and cumin. Quick and easy dish that goes well with rice or quinoa. Lamb could make a good amount of juice during cooking, especially with fat. With cornstarch, it helps to lock the juice in the lamb and prevent the dish from being too wet. In addition, it keeps the meat tender."
