My family has cooked this recipe for many years. The thinly sliced lamb chops normally available from any good Vietnamese butcher for about $6/kg, work best.

Ingredients:

(Marinade for each kg of lamb)

• 1/3 bottle of "premium " oyster sauce (Lee Kum Kee is recommended)
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons of oil (preferably olive oil)
• 3 tablespoons of finely chopped lemongrass
• 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped ginger
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together and marinate the lamb on one side only and place each chop in a container/bowl on top of each other. (This marinade is fine to pop on the chops the morning of your BBQ or overnight).

Place the chops on the barbie, cooking each side once. Given the full flavour of the chops, there is minimal need for any sauces or condiments.

For a spicier variation of this recipe, feel free to add in some coarsely ground black pepper.
