A Recipe For Teriyaki Lamb Stir-Fry

A Recipe For Teriyaki Lamb Stir-Fry
I’m a huge stir fry fan. Not only are they quick and easy to whip up at the end of a long day, they’re super healthy and a great way to cram in at least 5 of your 5 a day (or 7 if you go by the current guidelines) Being a pescatarian, I tend to stick with prawn and occasionally quorn but this week I took the leap into the unknown with some lamb in honour of Love Lamb Week (1st-7th September.)
This was a total first for me, I obviously don’t eat it, but my kids are all meat eaters and with lamb steaks being easy and versatile to cook this Teriyaki recipe could be a great introduction for them. (worth noting that you should look out for the Red Tractor mark when buying lamb, as this way you know what’s happening from farm to fork!)

As it happens, it went down a storm and now I know that all 3 of my boys will eat it, lamb will be gracing our dinner table sometime soon. And if you’re looking for a quick and easy healthy meal, then Teriyaki lamb stir fry is one to try. The quantities below are enough for 2 large adult sized portions, I added a courgette and shallot to bump up the vegetables to make it go between 3 adult sized appetites and a toddler.
