Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook 8 oz egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water to create a smooth sauce.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz sliced lamb and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
