Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate and steam
Wash the lamb brisket, cut into 6cm x 2cm pieces, place in a soup bowl, add cooking wine, soy sauce, star anise, white sugar, salt, MSG, sliced ginger, scallion sections and a small amount of stock. Steam until tender, then remove and let cool before use.
Prepare crispy batter
Put the all-purpose flour and cornstarch in a bowl, mix with cold water to form a crispy batter first, then add lard and alkaline water, stir well, then add baking powder and mix thoroughly.
Deep fry
Heat a wok, add vegetable oil, and heat to 80% of its maximum heat. Coat the lamb brisket with the crispy batter, then lower into the oil. Fry until crispy and golden brown, then remove. Cut into long rectangular pieces, arrange on a plate, and serve immediately with two small dishes each of white scallion sections, sweet sauce, salt and pepper, and chili soy sauce.
