1. Soak in cold water for 3 hours: Do not stew fresh mutton directly in the pot. After washing it, be sure to soak it in clean cold water for another 3 hours. This can help remove blood and grease from the mutton and reduce the number of times of blanching.
It makes the mutton taste more delicious after being stewed.
2. Blanch it once in a pot under cold water: Whether it is stewed mutton or braised mutton, it is so cold that it must be put into the pot under cold water.

3. Not too many spices: Stewed mutton is different from braised mutton. It is better not to use too many spices, especially spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns. Be sure not to add them.
