Prepare ingredients: white radish, mutton, ginger and coriander.
Step 1: Clean the prepared mutton, cut it into small pieces, put it into a bowl, add a proper amount of clear water to the bowl, and soak the mutton in clear water for about 1 hour to remove most of the blood in the mutton and reduce the smell of mutton. When soaking mutton, wash the white radish, peel it and cut it into small pieces for later use; When stewing mutton, stewed with radish and mutton can not only make the taste better, but also neutralize the heat of mutton, so that it will not get so angry when eating.
Step 2: Rinse the soaked mutton, then add a proper amount of water to the pot, blanch the mutton in cold water and cook for 2 minutes. After the floating foam is boiled, pick up the mutton and rinse it with warm water. Never rinse with cold water. After washing, put it aside for later use.
Step 3: wash ginger and leek, cut ginger into small pieces and pat flat, and cut coriander into small pieces for later use; Add the right amount of oil to the pot, and pour the ginger slices into the pot and stir fry. After stir-frying, pour the mutton into the pot and stir-fry for a while, and stir-fry the mutton. After the mutton is fried for about a minute, pour a proper amount of hot water into the pot, not cold water, because the hot mutton will shrink when it meets cold water, which will make the mutton taste weak. After the water is poured in, boil over high heat for about 5 minutes to make the soup white.
Step 4: when the soup turns white, pour the mutton, soup and ginger in the steamer into the casserole, boil it with high fire, and then turn to low heat for 50 minutes; It's time to cook. Pour the prepared radish into the pot and continue cooking for about 25 minutes. When it's time to cook, poke the radish with chopsticks to make it easy to penetrate, then add the right amount of salt and pepper, stir well, sprinkle with a little coriander and serve.
Note: Don't cook radish and mutton together, because stewing for too long will not taste good. How long the radish needs to be cooked depends mainly on the size of the radish, so the time to cook the radish should be mastered.
Skills summary:
"3 release": (1) Soak the washed mutton in clean water for a period of time to soak out the blood inside; (2) Stir-fry the blanched mutton in the oil pan, so that the mutton soup will be more fragrant and milky; (3) After the mutton is fried, put hot water in the pot. Adding cold water will make mutton firm.
"2 Don't": (1) Don't add star anise and cooking wine to mutton stew. Illicium verum is too fragrant and "dyed", which will not only inhibit the mutton flavor, but also aggravate it; At the same time, mutton soup will be dyed and become unsightly. The taste of cooking wine will destroy the umami flavor of mutton and make the taste very strange. (2) In the process of mutton stew, don't add water halfway, but add enough at a time. If there is really little water, heat it in.
