An easy sweet and sour lamb stir-fry with mandarin oranges and ramen noodles.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pound lamb, cut into 1-inch strips
3 ounces ramen noodles
1 cup water
1 zucchini, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
2 celery ribs, sliced
1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
1/2 cup Mandarin orange sections
1/4 cup almonds, chopped

Cooking Directions:

1. Heat oil and crushed garlic cloves on medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add lamb and stir fry about 3 minutes, or until no longer pink; remove from the skillet and set aside.
