1.2kg(2.6lb)potatoes, peeled

½ cup coarsely gratedcheese

6garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

1tbsp finely chopped ginger

¼ cupdouban jiangchilli bean paste*

800g(1.7lb)lambmince

2largetomatoes, finely chopped

1 tbspcornflour (cornstarch) mixed with 2tbspwater

For the Sichuan meat sauce, heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion and ginger and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Add the douban jiang chilli bean paste and stir-fry for another couple of minutes. Then add the lamb and stir-fry until almost cooked.

Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, chicken stock and sugar. Stir until well combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes or until tender and cooked through. Drain and place in a large bowl with the butter. Season with extra salt. Mash until smooth. Then stir through the cheese.

Preheat oven to 180 C/356 F.

Stir the cornflour mixture through the meat sauce. Simmer for another minute or until thickened slightly.

Spoon the meat sauce into individual cups or ramekins (each 1 cup capacity) or into one large 4-cup capacity casserole dish. Top with the cheesy mashed potato. Brush the potato with the egg yolk.

Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the potato tops are golden.
