This is an absolutely delicious meal. I make it every few weeks for me and my partner. Thank you for sharing

A phenomenal recipe, I’ve made it a few times now. Sichuan food (or really – any kind of ‘authentic’ Chinese outside of the Americanised-takeaway stuff) is hard to come by where I am usually based, so I wouldn’t know how this measures up to the ‘real deal’ – but I adore this dish. The perfect mix of spice, heat and tartness from the chianking vinegar. As I’m writing this and thinking about eating this dish, I’m mainly thinking I need to make this recipe again soon.

This was a winner! I had everything you used in my cabinet. Thanks to grabbing black vinegar on a long ago shopping trip to the Asian market month’s ago. Will make this again. Again thank you!

In reply to Erica C. You can totally use ground lamb. The rest recipe ingredients stay the same. When you brown the ground lamb, you can use high heat to cook it, and break them into smaller pieces. Happy cooking!

Hi! Looks great and I’m excited to try.. Any tips if I’m using lean ground lamb instead?

In reply to Mari. Yes! I love using ground lamb in the dish and it should be very tasty.

Hey there! Just perusing the freezer: do you think I could get away with using ground lamb?

In reply to Felicity Duke.

I added a ton of chili oil to get the color 😛 It helps if you can heat the pan really hot, and sear the lamb to develop a nice char.
The other thing is, depending on the chili flakes you use to make the chili oil (or the type of oil you buy), it can look quite light and orange, and some chili oil is very red.

Hi Maggie! I did like this but! Mine didn’t look as good as the picture. The picture looks a lovely bright reddish colour, mine looks greyish. I’m not sure what is making it that lovely red colour? Will cut down on the chilli oil next time.
