Production method:
First cut the mutton into small pieces, soak it in clear water, change the water several times in the middle, once every one to two hours, and soak it for more than six hours. Don't stew directly, without this 1 step, the stewed mutton soup will have a strong fragrance!
Second, clean the spices and weed the seeds.
Third, boil the water in the pot, and put the soaked mutton into the pot for blanching. Just boil the blood foam in the mutton.
4. Heat the mutton oil at the bottom of the pot, then stir-fry the onion, ginger, pepper and tsaoko in the mutton oil, add a proper amount of carved wine and stir-fry, then add enough water, add angelica, clove and dried tangerine peel, and cook for 40 minutes with low fire. At this time, add fennel and cook for about an hour, and cook the mutton until it is soft and rotten. The cooking time depends on the size of the cut mutton. Finally, add a little salt and you can eat.
Tips:
First, when you stew mutton, you must soak it in advance, otherwise it will have a strong taste. Don't stew directly! Without this 1 step stew, it tastes heavy! Because some high-end restaurants and hotels soak mutton in running water for more than six hours, and then stew it according to the formula of mutton soup.
Secondly, when stewing mutton, angelica is an important spice, which can not only remove the fishy smell of mutton, but also increase the umami flavor of mutton. The seeds of Amomum tsao-ko are bitter and should be removed. Why should fennel be put back? Because fennel smells too fast. If you put it early, the fragrance will be discounted. Chenpi can strengthen the spleen and stomach and neutralize the odor in mutton soup. When making mutton soup, do not put star anise, a common spice. The tastes of mutton and star anise don't match. After adding star anise, the taste of the soup will be destroyed.
