method
1. Trim the lamb of any excess fat and cut into thin slices. Heat the sunflower and sesame oils in a preheated wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the lamb over a high heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
2. Add the onion, garlic and chilli to the wok and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the beans to the wok and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the spinach with the browned lamb, oyster sauce, fish sauce, lemon juice and sugar. Stir-fry for a further 3 - 4 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through.
4. Sprinkle over the mint, adjust the seasoning and garnish with mint sprigs. Serve piping hot, with plenty of crusty bread to mop up all the juices.
