Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the grill (broiler) to high. Place the dried red chillies, Sichuan pepper, and a pinch of salt into a mini food processor and blend into a coarse powder. Add the peeled ginger, trimmed spring onions, and 2 tablespoons of groundnut oil; blend into a rough paste.
-
Step 2.
Lightly score both sides of the lamb cutlets in a crisscross pattern and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the spice paste and mix thoroughly to coat the lamb completely. Place the lamb on a grill rack and grill (broil) for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden on the outside and pink and juicy in the center.

Step 3.
While the lamb cooks, cut the pak choi lengthways into quarters. Heat a wok over high heat until smoking, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of groundnut oil. Add the pak choi and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and orange juice, continue stir-frying for 30 seconds, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender. Serve the stir-fry alongside the lamb.
