Ground Lamb Noodles

Ground Lamb Noodles

This ground lamb noodle dish combines the flavors of the Northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang with saucy, nutty noodles. Combined with heavy notes of cumin and garlic, Oaktown's Urumqi Rub is an ideal way to flavor your protein for any dish.

Note: If you can't find Chinese sesame paste, substitute creamy peanut butter or tahini.
