Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lamb shanks (about 1 lb each)
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed and smashed
  • 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 5 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything needed.
  2. In a large heavy-bottom pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season lamb shanks with salt and pepper; sear until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass to the pot; sauté until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Return lamb shanks to the pot. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, and broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 2-3 hours until tender.
  5. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. In a separate pot, combine rinsed rice and coconut milk; cook according to package directions until fluffy.
  6. Serve by plating coconut rice first; top with lamb shank and pour broth over it. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
