STIR-FRIED LAMB WITH CHILE, CUMIN AND GARLIC
Start with lamb shoulder; leg is not lean or tender enough for this treatment. You can use loin if you prefer, but the dish will cost at least 10 times as much and it won't be any better. Marinate it dry (or nearly so; I use a little soy sauce, for complexity) for as long as you like - 10 minutes, an hour, a day. The flavor will get a little stronger, though not much. More important than the length of time is the freshness of your cumin. You absolutely need cumin seeds, not ground cumin. It's worth the two or three minutes it takes to toast the seeds before marinating the meat. You can grind them if you like, but I like the little bit of crunch the seeds add.

Steps:
- Cut lamb into 1/2-inch cubes (easier if meat is firmed in the freezer for 15 to 45 minutes). Toast cumin seeds in dry skillet over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant, a minute or 2. Toss together lamb with cumin, chili, garlic, soy sauce, a large pinch of salt and a healthy grinding of pepper. If you like, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, put a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (ideally, it will hold the lamb in one layer, or nearly so) and turn heat to high. When hot, add lamb. Cook, undisturbed, for about a minute, then stir once or twice to loosen lamb from skillet. Cook another minute, then stir again. Add scallions, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions glisten and shrink a bit and the meat is about medium.
- If you want a slightly saucier mixture, stir in 1/4 cup water and cook another minute. Serve hot over rice, garnished, if you like, with cilantro.
CRISPY LAMB WITH CUMIN, SCALLIONS AND RED CHILES
Dongbei cai is the food of Northeast China. Weiliang Chen, the chef at Northeast Taste Chinese Food, the biggest of the Dongbei restaurants in Queens, makes an elegant, tender version of a popular Dongbei stir-fry of lamb with dried chilies, made fragrant and crunchy with cumin seeds - a legacy of the nomadic Mongols who long ruled Central Asia, carrying spices on horseback along with their arrows. Lamb is considered a Northern taste and excessively "strong" by many Chinese cooks; it is always cooked with powerful aromatics, like chili peppers and garlic, to subdue it.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine egg white, wine, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Add lamb and set aside to marinate 1 hour.
- Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact. Swirl half the oil into wok and carefully add lamb, spreading it in a single layer. Let sear a moment, then stir-fry briskly just until lamb is no longer pink. Transfer to a plate. (If your wok is not large enough to hold all the lamb, do this in 2 batches, using extra oil.)
- Swirl remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil into empty wok, add cumin seeds and chiles and stir-fry a few seconds until cumin seeds start to pop. Press chiles against sides of wok to char their skins.
- Add scallions and stir-fry 1 minute. Then return lamb to wok and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes more until lamb is cooked through. Turn off heat, sprinkle with salt and drops of sesame oil, and serve immediately.

TWICE-COOKED LAMB
These lamb ribs are a specialty of Kashmir called tabak maaz. The ribs undergo a curious braise-then-brown process which, though uncommon, makes perfect sense. The meat is made tender by braising, then browned with fresh spices and oil (or, in this case, butter). The result is the flavor of braising with the crispness of sautéing, an unbeatable combination.

Steps:
- Place ribs in a large skillet with a pinch of salt and the cayenne, fennel, ginger, turmeric, bay leaves, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, milk and about 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so mixture simmers. Cook, turning or stirring meat occasionally until just about tender, adding more water if mixture dries out, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- When meat is tender, remove it. If any liquid remains in pan, cook over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any bits stuck to bottom, until mixture is just about dry. Remove cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick and bay leaves.
- Add butter or oil and the garlic to pan over medium heat and when it's hot, brown meat in it. Remove meat to a warm platter. Add about 1/2 cup water to pan. Once again cook liquid over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any bits that have stuck to bottom, until liquid is reduced by about half. Pour over meat, garnish with cilantro and serve.
