Specials

  1. 1

    Prepare the glaze and marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, Shaoxing wine, Chinese five-spice powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This is the marinade for the lamb.

  2. 2

    Marinate the lamb

    Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate up to 2 hours) to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Prep skewers and grill

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the grates with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Skewer and cook

    Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers, about 4–6 cubes per skewer. Brush with a bit of the remaining marinade and grill 4–5 minutes per side, turning once, until the exterior is caramelized and the lamb is cooked to a desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Finish and serve

    Remove skewers from heat and let rest 2 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the lamb for aroma and color. Serve immediately, with extra sauce on the side if desired.
