Add the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and hoisin. Stir to combine. Add the lamb and turn to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 10 minutes and up to 2 hours to marinate.

Step 3

Step 3.Preheat a large frying pan, chargrill or barbecue plate on high. Remove the lamb from the marinade and cook for a minute each side or until a lovely crust forms. Baste with any excess marinade. Then turn the heat to low and cook, turning often, for another 3-4 minutes (for medium) or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle generously with the cumin salt mixture. Rest for 2-3 minutes. Then place the cutlets onto a serving plate. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with the spring onion and coriander.
