The sheep in Gansu are all good in meat quality. The famous ones are the hand-grabbed mutton in Dongxiang, Linxia and the lamb in Jingyuan, Baiyin. According to the feeding methods, sheep are also divided into two categories, feed sheep and forage sheep, and the meat quality of forage sheep is much better than feed sheep. First of all, talk about Qinghai, because Qinghai is my hometown, I grew up in Haixi, Qinghai, and it also belongs to the pastoral area, so I am no stranger to mutton. In my opinion, mutton in Qinghai is divided into two categories, one is represented by Xining and Haidong, and the other is represented by Hercynian, Hainan, Haibei, Huangnan and other pastoral areas.
These are the only places where real mutton is delicious in Hexi Corridor. One is from Minqin County, Wuwei City, and the other two are sheep from Shuangwan Town, jinchang and Maobula Village, Yongchang County. The sheep in these places are so delicious because they eat salty grass! When it is made, there is no seasoning, and the meat has no fishy smell. It is delicious, regardless of the cooking level. There is no standard answer to this question, and it is difficult for the most critical gourmets to come to a convincing conclusion. However, from my personal experience, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and Gansu are basically reliable, that is to say, Xinjiang is the most important, and the remaining three regions have their own advantages.
When the pot is boiling, the foam must be cleaned. After cleaning, if you pour half a can of beer, the foam will appear again (the foam is full of wool and some bad substances in the meat when pulling the skin). When the beer is poured, salvage the secondary foam quickly.
I have been to all these places, including Inner Mongolia from east to west, southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. I was in Xi 'an when I was a university student, and my family lived in Lanzhou. But my hometown is in Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and Ningxia, and I have been to cities as well as grassland herders' homes, and I like to eat meat, especially mutton, so I feel that I can talk about this topic. There is no standard answer to this question, and it is difficult for the most critical gourmets to come to a convincing conclusion. However, from my personal experience, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and Gansu are basically reliable, that is to say, Xinjiang is the most important, and the remaining three regions have their own advantages.
