Method

6 steps. Read it through before you start.

  1. 01
    Get set

    Take the mutton out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking and pat it dry. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw meat.

  2. 02
    Pressure cook

    Cut the mutton into thin pieces. Cook with salt and a little water for 3 whistles until just tender. Drain and dry well.

  3. 03
    Coat

    Mix the coating ingredients with the mutton to a thick coating.

  4. 04
    Fry

    Fry in hot oil in batches for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper.

  5. 05
    Make the sauce

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok. Fry the garlic and green chillies, then add the onion and capsicum for 2 minutes.

  6. 06
    Toss

    Add the soy, chilli sauce and ketchup. Add the fried mutton and toss on high for 1 minute. Top with the spring onion.

Questions

Why cook the mutton first?+

Mutton takes longer to tenderise than chicken. Pre-cooking makes sure it is soft inside the crisp coating.

Can I air fry it?+

Yes. Spray the coated pieces and cook at 200 °C for 12 minutes, then toss in the sauce.
