What Is Sichuan Cumin Lamb?
If you’ve ever been to a Sichuan restaurant, you’ve probably seen Sichuan Cumin Lamb on the menu. That’s because it’s an amazing dish and an incredibly popular way to cook lamb. I love making restaurant-quality food at home with a short cooking time so we can enjoy restaurant food at home. This allows me to put in what I want, and leave out what I don’t want for special dietary needs or just for a different flavor choice.

It’s more commonly found in Northern Chinese districts in Muslim-run restaurants. Nevertheless, it’s amazing and is a great recipe to cook in your air fryer.
