How to Make Braised Lamb with Radish: A Complete Guide

Braised lamb with radish is a hearty, comforting dish that tenderizes lamb while infusing it with the earthy sweetness of radish. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it.

Ingredients: 500g lamb ribs, 2 large white radishes, 1 ginger slice, 3 scallions, 1 tbsp cooking wine, 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste, and water or broth.

Steps:

1. Prep the lamb: Soak ribs in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess blood. Blanch in boiling water with ginger and cooking wine for 5 minutes, then rinse and drain.

2. Prep the radish: Peel and cut radishes into 3cm cubes. Blanch briefly in boiling water to remove bitterness, then set aside.

3. Braise: Heat oil in a pot, stir-fry scallions and ginger until fragrant. Add lamb, searing until lightly browned. Pour in soy sauces, sugar, and water (cover the ingredients). Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 1 hour.

4. Finish: Add radishes, cook for another 20-30 minutes until both lamb and radish are tender. Adjust seasoning and serve hot.

Tips: For richer flavor, use lamb broth instead of water. Pair with steamed rice for a satisfying meal. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth meat and radish in every spoonful!
