  • Reviews

  • “I tried this recipe cooked over direct heat, since I don’t have a microwave oven. I wanted a recipe for sliced lamb. There are surprisingly few on this site. I decided to make 3 servings worth, because 1 serving seemed impractical. The resulting dish provided me with a reasonably good dinner, I’d say 4 stars. I do think the recipe could use some adjusting. Maybe a little soy sauce, sugar, and Chinese wine would add a stronger flavor. Or maybe some chilies. I don’t expect everything I eat to have an assertive flavor, but do think this recipe could use a little help. Also, and I do like pine nuts, I don’t think they really “belong” here. JMO. I am not leaving stars because I changed the cooking method. These comments are for other cooks’ reference. I did post a picture of my version.”
