Braised Lamb Leg

This Crispy Sichuan-Spiced Lamb is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender marinated lamb with bold, aromatic flavors. The lamb leg is first cut into bite-sized pieces and marinated with a rich blend of Sichuan peppercorns, numbing peppercorns, star anise, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and five-spice powder, creating a deeply savory and slightly numbing taste. After steaming to lock in moisture, the lamb is coated in a crispy cornstarch and egg batter, then fried to golden perfection for a satisfying crunch. Garnished with fresh scallions, this dish offers a perfect balance of tender meat, fragrant spices, and crispy texture. Ideal for those who love bold, spicy flavors with a delightful crunch, this recipe brings the authentic taste of Sichuan cuisine to your table. A must-try for lamb lovers and adventurous foodies alike!
