Matters needing attention in stewed mutton in northern Shaanxi;

Mutton is cooked in cold water, and the meat cooked in hot water is red, so remember to cook it in cold water, skim off the floating foam, and then put all the seasonings and salt on it. If the salt is put early, the meat will lose its flavor, and then simmer slowly until the meat is soft and tender.

Introduction to the historical background of northern Shaanxi cuisine;

Hengshan Mountain is an ancient frontier city, located at the junction of the middle section of Yulin Ancient Great Wall and the southern edge of Mu Us Desert. Here is a collection of loess farming culture, grassland nomadic culture, ancient Great Wall frontier culture, religious history culture, modern revolutionary culture and long-standing folk culture. We went to the county seat, enjoyed the rich natural and cultural landscape there, and tasted the local food featuring "mutton".

Mutton is the daily food of Hengshan people, and even the "chop suey" made of sheep offal is also a famous food in northern Shaanxi. Leather clothes and fur jackets sewn by sheepskin are the "precious clothes" of farmers, shepherds and porters in the past, which can shelter from the wind and rain during the day and can be used as bedding to keep warm at night.

Sheep's wool is the treasure of Hengshan people's "making money from sheep", and cashmere winter clothes have already sold well all over the country.

Sheep bring food and wealth to Hengshan Mountain. Good luck, San Yang Kai Tai. Today's Hengshan people are proud and happy.
