1. Star anise. Whether we are making stewed mutton or braised mutton, star anise must not be added, because the aroma of star anise will cover up the delicious taste of the mutton itself, and the heavy taste of star anise combines with the mutton smell, and it smells bad. The smell is particularly unpleasant, which will make the stewed mutton soup and mutton very unpalatable, so be sure not to add star anise as a seasoning when stewing mutton.

2. Green onions. Many friends think that when stewing mutton, adding some scallions will remove the fishy smell of the mutton. In fact, this is not the case. After simmering the scallions with the mutton for a long time, it will produce an unpleasant sour taste, which will also make the stewed mutton soup taste bad. , mutton also produces firewood. If you want to remove the odor and smell of mutton, the correct way is to stew it with some onions and the mutton, which will have a much better effect than green onions. Therefore, we should not add green onions when stewing mutton.

3. Chicken essence and MSG. When we stew mutton, we must not add chicken essence and MSG, because they will cover up the delicious flavor of the mutton itself. When stewing mutton, you only need to add refined salt and pepper, and the refined salt must be added after the mutton is stewed. , adding it in advance will cause the mutton to overcook, and the stewed mutton soup will be very salty, so we should not add chicken essence and MSG when stewing the mutton.
