JINGISUKAN – Japanese Style Grilled Lamb

A recipe that takes its name from the 13th century conqueror, Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire that spanned Asia and Europe.

The grilled lamb recipe was created in Japan about 100 years ago. Until that time, lamb meat was not common in the Japanese diet. In those years, the lamb brought images of Mongolia and its large herds to the minds of the Japanese. The name of Genghis Khan was well known among the Japanese. It is also possible that this recipe was inspired by the Chinese roast lamb dish that Japanese visitors would have seen on visits to northern China.

Jingisukan is a dish that is usually eaten in company (family and friends) where everyone is served from the same plate, so an electric plate is usually used in the center of the table.

cooked

1. Put your griddle or frying pan over medium heat with enough oil for the entire surface but without excess.
2. Add the vegetables to the edge of the griddle or pan, leaving the center free to place the meat. Cook the vegetables for about 3 minutes.
3. Place the pieces of lamb meat in the center of the griddle. When it starts to brown, turn it over to cook the other side. Cook the meat for about 5 minutes.
4. While the meat and vegetables are preparing, we let the meat juices drain onto the vegetables. This may depend on the shape of your griddle or skillet. If necessary, you can use a spoon to drain some of the juice onto the outermost vegetables.
5. Remove the meat and vegetables when they are at the point of your preference. Quickly dip them into your sauce bowl and enjoy. The sauce helps to reduce the temperature of the meat just removed from the griddle, and the high temperature of the meat helps the absorption of the sauce, so it is very important to dip it as soon as possible and eat it.
