Snowflake Lamb

Snowflake Lamb

　　Snowflake Lamb creates the most romantic and delicate association for lamb, which is traditionally known for its strong gamy smell. This dish uses slices of cooked white lamb, with the skin removed and meat tenderized, then cut into domino-sized pieces and marinated evenly.

Fresh milk and egg whites are mixed with a fine mince of chicken and mandarin fish, which is then steamed in a small steamer basket and sprinkled with lily powder. The elaborate process still isn’t over at this point—the key to achieving the snowflake-like, ice-clear and jade-pure appearance is scooping whipped egg whites with bubbles onto the steamed lamb pieces.

The dish is then returned to the wok, layered with additional ingredients, thickened with starch, and finally drizzled with chicken (or duck) oil. Only then is the “Snowflake Lamb” finally complete—bright in presentation, soft and tender in texture on the palate, melting like snowflakes. The level of craftsmanship truly echoes the flavors of the Grand View Garden eggplant.
