Slow Cooked Lamb with Noodles (Asian Style Sticky Lamb)
I don’t normally think of lamb with Asian flavours, but we do love lamb in our house and this marinade is so full of flavour, really easy to make and uses simple, easy to find ingredients. This recipe is also perfect to make my Leftover Lamb Biryani the following night, making dinner sorted for two nights.
I am having my first attempt at growing an avocado tree from a seed….. A cafe near to us has these amazing giant avocado trees covered in hundreds of avocados and the kids loved picking one each and coming home and eating it….(not sure if we were meant to pick them….) Anyway it has inspired me to grow as many as I can, thinking this is the kind of legacy we should leave our kids, giant avocado trees that will bring them and their kids years and years of avocados.

Remove the lamb from the fridge 30 mins beforehand. Heat a large, heavy based pan on high then add the peanut oil and sear the lamb on all sides. Add the lamb to the slow cooker.
Whisk together the marinade ingredients and pour over the lamb. Turn the slow cooker on high and leave to cook for 6 hours, occasionally basting the meat.
After 6 hours remove lamb, shred with a fork and cover to keep warm. Strain the liquid into a jug and place in the freezer for 30 mins, this will set the fat on top making it easier to scoop off. Discard the fat and pour liquid back over the meat.
Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent from sticking. Lightly steam the snow peas and Chinese broccoli, place the sesame seeds on a tray in a moderate oven for a couple of minutes to lightly toast.
