These Braised lamb recipes are different from that of western cuisine. Whether it is lamb shrank, lamb leg, lamb chop, or lamb shoulder, in Chinese cuisine, especially home cooking we cut them into small blocks. Stir fry meat blocks in oil, seasoning and sauce, then simmer. Because it's small blocks, all flavors can be cooked into the meat.

Here I'll show two braised lamb recipes. One is Shanghai style, and another is Xinjiang style. Shanghai style cuisine is featured by deep brown color by heavy soy sauce and sugar. Xinjiang style is featured by tomato and cumin, which westerners love.

So if you are diligent enough you can add hot water one cup, and then add another cup when it's almost dry.

2. If you don't like light sweet you can only add 1 tablespoon sugar.
