The choice of ingredients for Wuzhen Braised Lamb is very particular, and it must be made by the "Hua" of that year, that is, the young Populus euphratica. This kind of mutton has tender meat, less fat, tender skin and more butter. Then it was burned overnight in a large earthen stove and a dead mulberry tree. In order to remove the odor, whole white radish and sugar cane segments had to be added. The braised lamb that came out at the end was delicious.

Diners have their own tastes for mutton. Some like fat and thin meat, some prefer lean meat that is fresh and tender, some like fat tails, and some specialize in mutton trotters. The best time to taste Wuzhen mutton is after the autumn wind. Almost every shop in the streets and alleys of Wuzhen has a bite. A steaming cauldron.

Stewed trotters with dried bamboo shoots_!

The combination of pig trotters and dried bamboo shoots is a perfect match. The pig's trotters absorb the fragrance of the bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots absorb the fatness of the pig's trotters. A bowl of rice or clear noodle soup with thick red soy sauce and spices is enough.

There are also steamed and dried stinky beans, which are euphemistically called "the fragrance of thousands of miles".

The method is very simple. Boil the water in the pot, add rock sugar, sprinkle some wolfberry, turn to low heat and break the eggs into the pot. The outermost protein solidifies first, while the golden yolk inside is still flowing and very tender.
