Sauce
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon ground bean sauce (mor sze jeung)
1 teaspoon chili bean sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese wine (or dry sherry)

1
Partially freeze lamb so it's easier to cut and then slice paper thin.
2
Soak lamb in cold water for 30 minutes.
3
Rinse well under cold running water, drain and squeeze out excess moisture.
4
Mix salt, soy sauce, egg, bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and cornflour (cornstarch) in a medium bowl.
5
Add lamb to the bowl and mix well. Add one tablespoon of peanut oil, mix again, and leave to marinate in refrigerator for two hours.
6
Heat one tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat and stir fry onion wedges and spring onion (scallion) for one minute. Remove and place aside.
7
Heat remaining three tablespoons of peanut oil in the wok swirling to cover the surface.
8
Stir fry garlic for 5 seconds.
9
Add lamb and stir fry over high heat tossing constantly until brown.
10
Add all sauce ingredients except the wine and toss a couple of times.
11
Return onion and spring onion to the wok. Pour wine around the outside of the wok so it sizzles, mix and serve at once over rice.
