The Method

1
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove lamb from the wok and set aside.
3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add diced potatoes and stir-fry for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly softened and starting to brown. Add onions and bell peppers and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4
Add minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
5
Return the cooked lamb to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry and toss to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6
Remove from heat and stir in fresh mint and cilantro.
7
Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier stir-fry, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil.

If you don't have Peruvian potatoes, you can substitute with Yukon Gold or other waxy potatoes. Avoid russets as they tend to fall apart.

Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference.

Ensure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the lamb to get a good sear.
