It’s Like Honey

　　    Cuisine: Muslim cuisine

　　    Flavor: Salty-sweet

　　    Specialty:

　　    A classic Beijing Muslim dish known for its resemblance to fresh apricot preserves—bright red and glossy in color, with tender meat that tastes sweet like honey and has a slight sour aftertaste.

　　    Ingredients:

　　    150g lean lamb loin, 40g white sugar, 5g sweet bean paste, 10g soy sauce, 3g vinegar, 3g cooking wine, 25g wet starch, ginger juice, 1g caramel color, 60g sesame oil, 500g peanut oil.

　　    Preparation Method:

　　    1. Slice the lamb into thin pieces 3cm long and 2cm wide. Marinate with sweet bean paste, 15g wet starch, ginger juice, caramel color, soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, white sugar, and 10g wet starch to form a sauce.

　　    2. Heat peanut oil to 70% hot, add the marinated lamb slices and quickly separate them. Remove and drain the oil once the slices turn white.

　　    3. Place a wok over heat, add sesame oil and heat. Pour in the stir-fried lamb slices and the sauce, stir-fry quickly until the slices are coated evenly with the sauce, then drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
