Preparation

1. In a bowl, place black beans and wine and set aside. Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok and turn heat to high. When oil shimmers, add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown and soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove to a second bowl.
2. Add another tablespoon of oil to skillet and heat; add lamb, a couple of pieces at a time. Do not crowd; you may need to cook lamb in two batches. Brown well on each side, then remove to the bowl with peppers.
3. Turn the heat to medium and wait a moment. Add remaining oil to skillet, along with garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Turn heat back to high. Add lamb mixture, soaked beans and their liquid, stock and soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is somewhat reduced (if it dries out, add a little stock or water). Stir in scallions and serve over rice.
