So tasty
Absolutely delicious! I needed to cook the lamb a little longer, because it was chewy, the meat was very tender and flavorful…….My hubbie loves it as well!
This recipe was superb! It seems like a lotta garlic – and, it is – but the flavor was the best I’ve found. Wish I knew whose recipe it is. Served it with Asian peanut noodles and Mom’s sugar and vinegar cucumbers. Best. Meal. Ever.
It was mentioned on the airing of the show that the marinade for the lamb chops would also be good for pork chops or chicken. I felt that the relatively large amount of sweetness provided by the brown sugar would make it a good marinade for pork chops. My, oh my, oh my. I’m a bit of a newbie cook, but my wife and I both agreed…. these were the BEST chops we’d ever eaten!!! 1/2″ chops, marinated for about 3 hours and cooked on a medium-high grill for 5 minutes per side (turning 90 degrees, without flipping, at 2.5 minutes to leave pretty grill marks was perfect. Thanks to Sam Choy.
This marinade is also excellent for venison.

Marinated for 2 days and they turned out to be yummy!
Used 2 pasture-raised lamb chops and 1/3C reduced soy sauce, dried basil leaves, cilantro, 1C brown sugar, and tons of garlic powder w/ minced garlic and ginger. At first herbs seem to be a lot, but again you’re making lamb chop. It works out in the end. Make sure you sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro on top if you love cilantro 🙂 Thanks Sam Choy!

While not a huge fan of lamb, this asian marinate is extremely tasty! I will be using it next on other meat or chicken.
The recipe is simple and packs a lot of flavor.
(Sam Choy has a great resteraunt if you’re ever on Oahu…one of my faves so I had to try this recipe)
