PREPARATION AND COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Total Time: 40 Mins
➊ In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and seasonings. This will be the marinade for the lamb.
➋ Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, making sure they are well coated. Marinate the lamb in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
➌ Chop or slice peppers, onions and other veggies. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
➍ Brush the lamb chops with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
➎ While grilling, brush the lamb chops with the reserved marinade occasionally for extra flavor.
➏ Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
➐ Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
➑ Serve with white rice, and other steamed veggies of your liking.
