The Genghis Khan Recipe is a genuine Japanese recipe. Japanese people call this dish Jingiskan (ジンギスカン). It is a grilled lamb or mutton dish with vegetables, cooked in a special metal skillet. But you can cook it in a frying pan or a large griddle pan.
If you marinate the meat previous day, you can make it in 15 minutes.
Marinating time is not included as it can be between 1 hour to 24 hours. Cook time assumes that the lamb slices are cooked all at once. If you are cooking the ingredients at the dining table at your own pace, the cook time will naturally be longer.
Don't forget to see the section 'MEAL IDEAS' below the recipe card! It gives you a list of dishes that I have already posted and this recipe that can make up a complete meal. I hope it is of help to you.
Heat oil in a large frying pan (note 3) over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and capsicum. Sauté for about 1½ minutes.
Spread the lamb pieces in the centre of the pan, without overlapping where possible. Cook for a few minutes until the edges of the lamb pieces start changing colour.
Flip the lamb pieces over and cook for a couple of minutes. As the lamb pieces get cooked, I place them on the vegetables so that the juice from the lamb drops onto the vegetables.
1. Genghis Khan is meant to use lamb or mutton, but if lamb is not for you, you can substitute it with sliced pork, chicken or even beef.
2. I used a typical combination of vegetables that are used in Jingiskan. Other vegetables commonly used are cabbage, pumpkin, and eggplant.
3. If you have a dome-shaped Jingiskan pot (the special pan used for cooking Genghis Khan) that would be the best. Even a large grill pan is better than a frying pan if you have one.
4. I cooked the ingredients on the stove, but you can of course cook them at the table on a portable cooktop and let the diners cook.
