Prep Time20 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time40 mins
1 cup light soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
8 American Lamb rib chops, 1/2-inch thick
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup sliced celery
4 medium red bell peppers, sliced
2 (6-ounce) packages brown mushrooms, quartered
2 raw broccoli florets
3 lbs snow peas, trimmed
1In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, garlic, hoisin, and ginger. Arrange the lamb chops in a large glass baking dish. Pour 1/4 cup of the soy mixture over the chops, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove the chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
2Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onion and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the celery and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
