Combine shaoxing wine and cornflour in a medium bowl. Put lamb in a large glass bowl and add 2 Tbsp shaoxing wine mixture, tossing to coat.

Meanwhile, slice white part of shallots into 3cm lengths. Finely slice green part of shallots. Set both aside.

Once lamb has marinated, heat wok over a high heat. When starting to smoke, add 2 tsp peanut oil, swirling pan to coat. Stir-fry 1⁄3 lamb for 3 minutes or until browned and almost cooked through. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat for another 2 batches. If necessary, carefully wipe wok clean with paper towel in between batches, before adding oil.

Add remaining oil to wok over a high heat, swirling to coat. Add white shallot pieces and stir-fry for 1 minute or until beginning to soften. Add garlic, ginger, capsicum and broccolini and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until broccolini is almost tender.
