Sauce:

2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 boneless leg of lamb, about 2 pounds, trimmed of excess fat,
cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes

2. Place the lamb in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
