What are the tips for stewing lamb?

In traditional Chinese medicine, mutton is a food that has warming and tonic effects. People with cold body in daily life can eat more mutton. Although mutton is sometimes more expensive, you can buy some mutton bones to make soup, the nutritional value is almost the same, and it is very economical. In fact, mutton can not only be boiled in soup, but also can be directly stewed. So, what are the tips for stewing mutton?

The first method: You need fresh lamb meat, which is a male lamb less than one year old. It’s not that ewe lambs are not tasty, but sheep farmers are reluctant to kill them and have them for other uses. The mutton prepared by the ethnic comrades is very clean; they do not wash it because it will lose its flavor if washed with water. First boil the water, chop the lamb into the size you want, and put it in the pot when the water is hot. Don’t add anything, not even salt, remember! Everyone knows how to write the word “fresh”, adding any seasoning will destroy the freshness of the mutton.

Some people ask what to do if mutton has a strong smell. This has nothing to do with the cooking method. Mutton in the mainland has a strong smell and is only suitable for making grilled skewers. There is no other way except adding more cumin and chili powder. Don't add salt either, as it will make the meat tough and become tougher the longer it is cooked. When eating, you can dip it in salt water or any dipping sauce, depending on your personal taste. Lamb meat is usually cooked in about ten minutes. If you have good teeth, don’t cook it too much; if you have bad teeth, cook it a little longer. Don’t wait to take it out, eat it while it’s hot. Of course, you can eat the meat directly with your hands, but if you are not used to it, you can also cut it and eat it. After eating, eat two slices of onions. If you can’t eat raw onions, you can eat cucumbers, carrots, or any vegetables. Then I touched my belly, it felt so comfortable. That's it, perfect!

The second method: Lamb is the best ingredient for dietary tonic in winter, and it is also the best choice for removing moisture in summer! I have been a chef for such a long time, and to be honest, for the dish of braised lamb, if you want it to taste good, it has little to do with the ingredients, but the main thing is that the ingredients have to be good. Good mutton doesn’t need anything added to it, it tastes delicious just by stewing it in water. Of course, auxiliary ingredients are also to further enhance the taste and quality of the dishes. Now I will share with you how to make braised lamb!
