Instructions
1
Sauté the radish
Heat oil in a wok or deep pan over medium-high heat. Add the radish slices and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and pick up a little color.

Simmer the radish
Pour in the water and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the radish cook for about 10-12 minutes until it becomes very tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Add lamb and garlic
Gently add the cooked lamb slices and garlic stalk pieces to the pot. Stir carefully to distribute everything evenly. Let it come back to a simmer and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
