Noodles with shredded lamb

In the south of China, lamb is very rare, and the Cantonese, not great fans of its smell or taste, are easily able to distinguish ‘mutton-eaters’ by their smell. But up north, lamb means survival, and the meat features in countless regional specialties. This simple dish combines lamb and noodles in an easy, ingenious way that even a Cantonese could learn to love.
