spicy appetizer from Central Asia

The most famous dish of Uyghur cuisine is lagman. Spicy lamb kidneys are also regularly eaten. Soak the lamb kidneys in water for at least ten hours, changing the water as often as possible. Remove the skin around the kidneys, quarter them lengthwise, and remove all hard parts (urethra and branches). Pat dry and make diamond-shaped cuts on the outside of the kidney quarters, about one centimeter apart. Heat the oil in a wok until very hot and fry the kidneys, stirring constantly. After about a minute, add salt, cumin, coriander powder, soy sauce, chili strips, and quartered onions. After a total of three or four minutes, everything is ready. Serve immediately and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
