Air fryer Lamb Skewers (羊肉串儿)

Make authentic Chinese lamb skewers using an air fryer to create perfectly charred lamb pieces that are juicy and seasoned with a bold savory spice mix. The dish takes no time to put together and it’s so fun to eat either as an appetizer, a snack, or a part of the main course of your grilling party! {Gluten-Free adaptable}

To make this dish gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Use dry sherry to replace Shaoxing wine.

Instructions

  1. Combine oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
  2. Trim fat from the lamb meat if necessary. Cut the lean part into 1.5-cm (1") cubes. Cut fat into thin pieces half the size of the lean pieces.
  3. Add the lamb and onion into a big bowl. Pour the marinade over the lamb. Mix well so the lamb is covered evenly with the marinade. Let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
  4. Thread lamb cubes closely onto skewers, alternating between lean meat and fat pieces.
  5. When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place skewers into the preheated air fryer and air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Halfway through, turn the lamb skewers and sprinkle a generous amount of cumin powder and chili powder on both sides. Serve hot.
