Sheep fat is not a particularly common oil, but the nutritional value of this oil is relatively high. Eating a moderate amount of sheep fat has many benefits for human health. For this reason, many people will refine sheep fat to eat in their daily lives. However, refining mutton fat also requires certain methods, so that mutton fat can be successfully refined. Next, I will introduce to you the method of making mutton fat and other related knowledge!

1. How to refine sheep oil

1. Do not put oil in the pot. Wash the mutton fat and stir-fry directly. (There will be some moisture in the mutton fat at the beginning)

2. Continue to stir-fry until the water evaporates and the mutton fat starts to release oil. Then turn down the heat.

3. Simmer over low heat to allow the mutton fat to slowly extract oil.

4. When the oil residue in the pot turns dry and yellow, it means that all the oil has been drained and you can turn off the heat.

5. When the oil temperature is lower than the temperature at which the pan is not too hot to touch, sift the mutton fat into another small non-stick pan and filter out the oil residue.

6. Add chili sauce and peanut oil, put it back on low heat, and continue to simmer slowly, stirring constantly.

7. Turn off the heat when the color of the chili sauce changes from bright red to dark purple-red and you can smell a strong spicy aroma.

8. After turning off the heat, let it cool for 10 minutes and pour the spicy mutton oil into a container with a lid.

9. After the mutton fat has cooled and solidified, it can be stored in the refrigerator.
