Instructions
Making Cumin Lamb Noodles is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by thinly slicing the lamb. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the green onions and measure out the spices.
2. Toast Cumin Seeds: In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them; remove from heat and set aside.
3. Marinate the Lamb: In a bowl, combine the lamb slices, toasted cumin seeds, chili flakes, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
4. Cook the Noodles: If using fresh noodles, cook them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes or until tender. If using dried noodles, prepare according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Stir-Fry the Lamb: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated lamb. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through and slightly browned.
6. Add Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the lamb. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the flavorful mixture.
7. Season and Combine: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped green onions and toss to combine.
8. Serve Hot: Divide the Cumin Lamb Noodles among serving plates. Drizzle with sesame oil if desired, and top with fresh cilantro for garnish.
