Marinade and Lamb

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red and covered with white ash.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Lamb

    Remove the lamb from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Thread the lamb chops onto skewers, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.

  5. 5

    Grill the Lamb

    Place the skewered lamb chops on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. Baste with leftover marinade during the last few minutes of cooking.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the lamb from the grill. Let it rest for a few minutes before garnishing with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or as an appetizer.
