Hoisin Sweet Chilli Lamb with Mixed Vegetables

This stirfry was a huge hit for dinner. We hadn't had a chinese/asian dinner for awhile so it made a pleasant change.

Nice tender lamb and full of vegetables, which was what I had been craving, and the sauce had the wonderful hoisin flavour with a hint of chilli. I say a hint of chilli as that's all it really was so definitely a kid friendly meal.

As with most asian inspired meals, once all ingredients are prepared and ready to go, the cooking stage is easy. I am sure you will love this dish. We all did - so much so that wanted more but alas the plate was emptied!
