Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemongrass paste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste like sriracha or gochujang
  • 1 ½ pounds lamb loin chops (about 8 chops) or lamb rib chops
  • peanuts and cilantro for serving

Instructions
 

  • Make the marinade by combining the fish sauce, lemongrass paste, olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chili paste in a large bowl. Add the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • When you're ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 400ºF.
  • Remove the marinated lamb chops from the bowl, letting the excess drip off. Place lamb chops in your air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your liking.
  • Sprinkle the cooked lamb chops with fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts.
