Genghis Khan
The Genghis Khan Recipe is a genuine Japanese recipe. Japanese people call this dish Jingiskan (ジンギスカン). It is a grilled lamb or mutton dish with vegetables, cooked in a special metal skillet. But you can cook it in a frying pan or a large griddle pan.If you marinate the meat previous day, you can make it in 15 minutes.Marinating time is not included as it can be between 1 hour to 24 hours. Cook time assumes that the lamb slices are cooked all at once. If you are cooking the ingredients at the dining table at your own pace, the cook time will naturally be longer.Don't forget to see the section 'MEAL IDEAS' below the recipe card! It gives you a list of dishes that I have already posted and this recipe that can make up a complete meal. I hope it is of help to you.

Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 250g / 8.8oz lamb sliced into 3mm / ⅛" thick bite-size pieces ((note 1))
- ½ onion sliced to 1cm wide pieces
- 100g / 3.5oz bean sprouts
- 30g / 1.1oz carrot diagonally sliced thinly
- 40g / 1.4oz capsicum sliced into 1cm / ⅜” wide strips ((note 2))
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1⅓ tbsp soy sauce
- 1⅔ tbsp cooking sake
- 1⅔ tbsp mirin
- 1⅓ tbsp apple juice
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp garlic grated
- ½ tsp ginger grated
Instructions
- 1
Mix the Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Put aside 1 tablespoon of the sauce.
- 2
Add the sliced lamb to the bowl of the remaining sauce and marinate the lamb for minimum 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- 3
Heat oil in a large frying pan (note 3) over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and capsicum. Sauté for about 1½ minutes.
- 4
Add bean sprouts to the pan and sauté for a minute. Add the reserved sauce to the pan and mix.
- 5
Shift the vegetables to the outer edge of the pan, making a ring shape so that the centre part of the pan is free to cook the meat.
- 6
Spread the lamb pieces in the centre of the pan, without overlapping where possible. Cook for a few minutes until the edges of the lamb pieces start changing colour.
- 7
Flip the lamb pieces over and cook for a couple of minutes. As the lamb pieces get cooked, I place them on the vegetables so that the juice from the lamb drops onto the vegetables.
- 8
Turn the heat off and place the pan on the table.
