Traditional method of cooking northern Shaanxi shepherd's mutton

It’s all about the steps, not the ingredients.

1. Raw materials for mutton: First, sheep are fed special grass when they are released from the market to reduce the mutton smell, which is also an important way to make mutton delicious; secondly, the meat of sheep that is not slaughtered well has a strong mutton smell.

2. Wash the mutton (very important): wash it with cold water, and wash off the blood with warm water, as the mutton smell is in the blood.

If you are afraid of a strong smell, repeat the process several times.

3. Let the white wine or yellow rice wine simmer for a while, then put it into the pot and cook it when the water is warm. The traditional stove is slow fire, that is, simmer it over low heat;
