  1. Unfortunately I found that this recipe was a little too salty for me. Next time I think I will half the amount of soy sauce or use a salt reduced soy .

  2. 3 stars
    I think there is too much chinese five spice in the recipe. It completely overwhelmed any taste of the lamb. My husband liked it but I didn’t. I would try it again with maybe 2 teaspoons of five spice, rather than 2 tablespoons.
