First, prepare the ingredients. You need fresh sheep scorpions, ginger slices, diced scallions, garlic cloves, dried chili peppers, peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, sesame leaves and other spices, as well as seasonings such as cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and sugar. Wash the sheep scorpion and blanch it in boiling water to remove blood and impurities.

Next, fry the spices. Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pan, heat it up and add ginger and scallions to stir-fry the aroma. Then add garlic cloves and dried chili pepper and continue to stir fry, then add pepper, star anise, cinnamon and allspice to stir fry the flavor. This process needs to be stir-fried slowly over low heat so that the spices are not stir-fried.

Then, stew the sheep scorpion. Put the sautéed spices into the pot with the lamb scorpion, add the right amount of cooking wine and soy sauce, stir fry well and add enough water. The amount of water should not cover the surface of the lamb scorpion to avoid undercooking the stew. Cover with a lid and simmer slowly over low heat. The simmering time can be determined according to your personal taste and usually takes 1-2 hours. Finally, season and plate. When the scorpions are stewed until cooked through, you can add an appropriate amount of salt and sugar to season according to personal taste. Then fish out the scorpions and sprinkle some chopped cilantro or scallions to enhance the flavor. Finally, pour the stewed scorpion soup into the hotpot and feel the anticipation and patience of the process as the scorpions are stewed. When the sheep scorpion is stewed until cooked through, you can savor this delicious hot pot with your family and enjoy the satisfaction and happiness of this process.
