In my Yimeng family, the mutton stew we have been eating since childhood has always been stewed in cold water.

After washing the mutton and putting it into the pot, remove the blood and water foam. Then add onions, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, salt, and Sichuan peppercorns and cook together, bring to a boil over high heat, simmer over low heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. After the meat is stewed, you can add beans or cabbage, vermicelli, potatoes, etc. to make a delicious mutton stew.
