Xinshi mutton is a specialty delicacy of Xinshi Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province.

Xinshi mutton is a century-old famous dish. Especially in recent years, mutton has become a gourmet business card of the ancient town of Xinshi.

Every autumn and winter, tourists from Hangzhou, Huzhou, Shanghai and other places come to Xinshi to eat mutton.

Drinking rice wine and eating mutton has always been a happy way for people in Xinshi.

In recent years, Xinshi has held a Rice Wine and Mutton Festival every year.

I can't wait for late autumn, when the small ancient town is soaked in the rich aroma of mutton. Going to Xinshi at this time is also the time to have a sweet dream amidst the leisurely pace of the ancient town and the aroma of mutton.

Xinshi mutton started in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. It has been included in famous Chinese recipes and has been well-known in Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asian markets as early as the beginning of the Republic of China.

"Xinshi Mutton" has carefully selected ingredients and exquisite seasonings. It uses the tender and healthy second teeth of Hu sheep, which are required to be healthy and disease-free, and is paired with refined rock sugar, aged ginger, authentic red yeast rice, Shandong jujube, pepper, fennel, cinnamon, etc.

Cook.

Xinshi mutton is always stewed with firewood, and even in big hotels, the ancient method is still followed.

It is stewed on a low fire for four or five hours, with unique spices. What comes to the table is mutton that has been stewed early in the morning.

Therefore, the mutton in Xinshi has a particularly mellow taste, without the smell of mutton, and its taste is so good that it is difficult to describe.
