  3. Pour off the oil, leaving 1 Tbsp. behind, and stir in the seasonings ingredients. Bring to a boil. Return the lamb to the wok and stir quickly over maximum heat till the seasoning ingredients coat the lamb slices. Serve immediately.
  4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  5. Comments: Little is written about lamb in Chinese cooking as it plays a relatively small role in China's gastronomy. Most Chinese find the odor of mutton disagreeable. But because the texture of the meat is excellent, Chinese cooks take time and care in preparing lamb to minimize its less attractive features and maximize the best.
  6. This recipe was reputedly created exclusively for the Dowager Empress Cixi of the Quig dynasty (AD 1644-1911), whose royal taste was for many concoctions made with honey.
  7. Honey is probably the oldest and most respected sweetener in China, dating from as early as Tang (AD 618-906), when the bees of most of northern China provided honey for the palace tables of Changan (now Xian).
