Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 1 lb lamb, 3 dried red dates, and 1 inch sliced ginger in a pot. Cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil over high heat, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to low, skim off any foam, and simmer gently until the lamb is tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Add 1 tsp salt in the last 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the lamb from the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the 4 large lettuce leaves on a serving plate.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the lamb thinly against the grain and arrange the slices over the lettuce.

  5. Step 5

    In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Serve the sauce alongside the lamb for dipping.
