How to roast lamb kidney Uyghur-style
Uyghur cuisine links both Asian and Chinese style food and some Uyghur recipes are real gems that are suitable for all tastes. This is one of the fastest recipes of roast lambs kidney available, which works both as a starter to any other dishes or as an independent light main dish. Total cooking time is very short, so it is crucial to prepare all ingredients before cooking. Also, it is best to not cook too much at a time, as many standard house stoves cannot provide a high enough heat source. This dish should be cooked in the wok and works well both at home and in a restaurant.

step-by-step instructions

  1. First step - ingredients. It is very important to use the freshest possible ingredients. For two portions, you will need/
    • ½ kg Lambs kidneys. These should be very fresh. Many supermarket lambs kidneys are not fresh enough, so it is better to buy from a halal butcher.
    • 2 Large onions. Purple onions look better in the final dish.
    • ½ garlic bulb.
    • 1 tbsp salt
    • 1 tbsp paprika powder
    • 1½ tbsp cumin seeds
    • ½ tsp hot chilli powder. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chilli powder to ¼ tbsp.
    • 50 ml. Soy sauce. We recommend our favourite, Kikkoman soy sauce.
