Grilled Lamb Skewers (Low-Calorie)
Grilled lamb skewers built on cubed lamb leg marinated in soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ginger and garlic, then charred over high heat with red onion and bell pepper. Cumin and Sichuan peppercorn give the classic Chinese street-grill edge, while a lighter marinade and lean trimmed lamb keep the dish well below a typical calorie-heavy version.
