    This delicious Lamb Stir-Fry is on the table in under 20 minutes, making it a quick, easy and healthy weeknight meal. A great way to get lots of vegetables in one meal, and a simple way to cook lamb. Strips of lamb fried up with broccoli, corn, pak choi and noodles, and all brought together with a soy, garlic and ginger sauce.

    We love a stir-fry! It's such a simple meal that is ready in a flash, and a good way to instantly boost your veggie intake for the day. Instead of using chicken or beef, why not try something new and use lamb. Lamb is a delicious protein source, and cooks really quickly in a stir-fry.

    Love Lamb week

    It is Love Lamb Week (1st-7th September) and Try Lamb are on a mission to show people that lamb recipes don't have to be expensive, unhealthy, unappetising and they are far more than the lamb casseroles that our grandparents used to make. Lamb recipes can be healthy, exciting, easy and affordable, and they don't have to be slow cooked.

    They challenged us to come up with an easy lamb recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes to celebrate Love Lamb Week. Whenever we want a quick and easy meal, we turn to a stir-fry. It is usually ready in under 30 minutes, you just throw everything in the pan and it's a great way to have a meal packed full of vegetables too.

    Lamb is so versatile, and this lamb stir-fry is the perfect midweek meal when you don't have a lot of time. Visit the Try Lamb website for some more inspiring lamb recipes and follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

    What lamb to use

    We used lamb rump steaks and trimmed the fat and cut them into strips. You could use lamb mince or lamb leg steaks cut into strips as an alternative, and it would cook really quickly, or you could use chunks of lamb neck, but cooking times will vary.

    What vegetables to use

    The great thing about stir-fries is that you can put almost anything in them. They are a great fridge raid meal, and can really help to reduce the amount of vegetables you waste. You want to use a variety of colours so it looks nice and vibrant and have plenty of crunch in them too.

    We went with some broccoli and pak choi (bok choy) to add greens, then some baby corn, bell pepper and mangetout for some extra crunch. If you are really short of time, grab a bag of prepared stir-fried vegetables on the way home from work.

    Stir fry sauce

    Again, this is a way that you can change it up every time and get really creative. We made a simple soy, ginger, garlic and chilli mix with some sesame oil and Chinese five spice. The lamb has plenty of flavour, so you don't want to take away from that. 

    But you could use teriyaki, sweet and sour or even a katsu. Use whatever your favourite stir-fry sauce is, but make sure it is one that will compliment the lamb.

    What to serve with this

    Noodles are just the ultimate stir-fry accompaniment aren't they? Quick to cook, filling and comforting and the sauce just clings really well to them. If you don't fancy noodles, then leave them out of this dish and serve it on top of rice.

    How to store it

    You can keep cooled leftovers in the fridge for 2 days or you can keep them in the freezer for around 2 months. Just make sure that it is fully defrosted and then you can heat it up in a pan - make sure it's piping hot too!

    Extra tips

    • Use any sauce you like - try it with sweet and sour or teriyaki.
    • Add some extra greens by throwing in some kale or chard.
    • You can serve this stir-fry with noodles or rice.
    • Leftovers will store in the fridge for 2 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
    • If you want some spice, add some red chillies on top, or they can be left off for a more mild dish.

      I found the sauce a bit plain and gritty from the spice. I'd suggest cooking garlic and ginger with onion first, then adding and cooking the five spice powder before going on with everything else. And add a sweeter sauce to taste at the end.
