Use an ordinary stew pot to cook the mutton in about 30 minutes to 1 hour. If you use a pressure cooker, the time will be shortened a lot. Press the pressure cooker over high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, which is already chewy.

If the mutton needs to be softer and more cooked, you can change the high heat to low heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. You can adjust the stewed mutton according to your own taste. If you like it harder, you don't need to stew it for so long. If you like it softer, you can also stew it for a longer period of time.

Precautions for stewing mutton

1. When blanching the mutton, pay attention to putting the mutton in cold water. After blanching the mutton, it is important to remember to rinse it with warm water.

2. When stewing mutton, many people think that the mutton has a strong fishy smell, so they add a lot of onions, ginger, star anise, and pepper. As a result, the taste of the stewed mutton becomes very bad.

3. Many people stew mutton and add salt to season the mutton when it is stewed. In fact, this approach is wrong. Adding salt in advance will only make the mutton absorb more salt. It makes the meat taste thicker and the mutton soup tastes saltier.

The correct way is to season the mutton with salt after it has been stewed for 10-20 minutes. In this way, the salty taste of the salt will not penetrate into the mutton in advance, the mutton will not burn out, and the mutton soup will be more delicious.
