The smell of mutton comes from its adipose tissue, especially fresh mutton, which contains a lot of blood and is even more fishy. If you want to make a delicious mutton soup, you should first handle the mutton and remove its smell. The specific methods are:

1. First, divide the fat and lean meat of mutton and remove the muscles.

2. Then soak the mutton in cold water for 2-3 days and change the water twice a day.

3. Or rinse with clear water for 3 minutes, so that the ammonia substances in the mutton sarcoplasmic protein can be leached out, so that most of the mutton smell can be effectively removed. Remarks

It is suggested that the rinsing water changes with the outside temperature, such as using warm water at 45℃ in autumn and winter, and using cold water in summer.

2 Mix with good ingredients

Although a large part of the mutton smell has been removed, some remains. In order to cover up the remaining mutton smell, we can use the unique sweetness of various vegetables or seafood to neutralize the taste. The commonly used delicious mutton soup ingredients are white radish, carrot, tomato, fish, potato and so on.

3 Add seasonings as appropriate

In addition, adding appropriate amount of yellow rice wine, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, curry and other seasonings is also a good way to get rid of mutton smell and make a delicious nutritious mutton soup, such as adding onions, which contain volatile oil and allicin. Stewing with mutton can make the odor molecules such as aldehydes, ketones and sulfur-containing compounds in meat undergo oxidation, acetalization and esterification reactions, so that the odor is weakened, and the generated acetals and esters have aromatic molecules, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also increase the flavor of mutton.
