Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

Marinade:

1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or sherry
1 tablespoon 5-spice powder

1 pound boneless leg of lamb, in 3/4-inch cubes
4 scallions, cut into quarters

Sauce:

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Preparation:

Prepare the grill. Mix the marinade ingredients. Marinate the lamb in
refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.

While lamb is marinating, soak the skewers in cold water and mix the
sauce ingredients. Thread the lamb cubes on a skewer, alternating with
scallion pieces. Cook for five minutes, turn and cook for another five
minutes.

While lamb is cooking, combine the sauce with the remaining marinade.
Bring to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat and reduce to a simmer
and cook for five minutes. Serve with the lamb.
