Instructions
1
Braise the lamb
Brown lamb pieces in a pot. Add 1.5L water, star anise, cumin, and ginger. Simmer 1.5-2 hours until lamb is fall-apart tender. Season with salt.
2
Crumble bread and assemble(10 min)
While lamb cooks, tear flatbread into small crouton-sized pieces. Toast in a dry pan until slightly crunchy. Divide bread between bowls. Ladle hot lamb and broth over the bread. Top with cilantro and chili flakes. The bread absorbs the broth — eat immediately.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
Crumbling the bread by hand is part of the ritual. Machine-cut pieces are too uniform and don't absorb broth properly.
