How to cut lamb rolls

We often order mutton rolls when we eat hot pot. Mutton rolls are not only delicious, but also very thin. They do not need to be cooked for too long and are very convenient to eat. Many people may wonder, how to cut lamb rolls? In fact, there are two main ways to make mutton rolls: manual cutting and machine cutting. Even without using a machine, if we master the manual cutting skills, we can cut the same mutton rolls at home as those sold outside.

How to cut lamb into lamb rolls

Key points: Frozen lamb, sharp knife edge, fast and thin.

1. Cut it yourself

If you cut it yourself. Choose the meat first. It is best to choose lamb loin, the part with a little fat or the hind leg. Then wash the mutton with water. Use a knife to cut the mutton into strips. The cross-sectional area of ​​the strips is the size of the mutton rolls you want. It depends on yourself, and it is best to have square strips. Then wrap the lamb tightly with plastic wrap, put it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and freeze it for 1 hour (-18 degrees). Wait until the meat is completely frozen and the surface is frozen solid before cutting.

Take it out and tear off the plastic wrap. When cutting, the knife must have a sharp blade so that the slices can be cut thinly. It has to be fast and thin so that it can be rolled up. Cut it into slices to make lamb rolls. In addition, do not press the meat with your palm when holding the meat. The warmth from your palm will soften the frozen meat. Just press the meat with two or three fingers. In short, it is theoretically feasible.

2. Use machine cutting

But this is a skilled job, and it won’t work without experience. In actual practice, it is generally difficult to cut the rolls by hand and make them look good. You might as well freeze the mutton you bought first, and then take the frozen mutton to a store selling hot pot ingredients, seafood mutton rolls and other products. There usually are mutton roll cutting machines there, and you just need to pay them a processing fee. If you need to use it frequently, you can also buy a small slicer for your home if conditions permit.

Of course, this machine can not only cut lamb rolls, but also slices and shreds. However, it is difficult for most people to make mutton rolls, and most people use machines to make it. The rolling machine is suitable for large hot pot restaurants and large and medium-sized beef and mutton wholesalers.

Why does the lamb roll break when I cut it myself?

Do you use frozen meat or fresh meat? If you use a special slicer, is it used to cut frozen meat or fresh meat? Different slicers are designed for different types of meat and are not universal, so the meat you cut will be broken. Furthermore, factors need to be considered, such as whether the meat is stuck when cutting, whether the slicing area is clean and smooth, and whether you know how to use a slicer.
