Preparation Method
Preparation Method
Step 1 – Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sriracha, garlic powder, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix until smooth. Add a small splash of water if needed to achieve a drizzle-like consistency. Refrigerate the sauce while preparing the rest of the meal.
Step 2 – Cook the Lamb Chops
Season the lamb chops with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chops for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on their thickness, until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and let them rest while preparing the fried rice.
Step 3 – Prepare the Shrimp Fried Rice
Heat butter or oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the diced onion, carrots, and peas until tender. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
