In the solar terms of heavy snow, remember "2 don't let go" when stewing mutton, mutton is not fragrant and mutton soup is not black.

Fresh mutton 1 kg, radish 1 rootlet, 2 pieces of fragrant leaves, cinnamon 1 piece, pepper 1 piece, a short piece of onion, ginger1piece, and 2 pieces of garlic.

Step one:

Wash the bought mutton with clear water for two or three times, wash off the blood stains on the surface of the mutton and cut it into small pieces for later use. Then add cold water to the pot, put the mutton into the pot with cold water, and add ginger slices at the same time. Bring the fire to a boil, skim off the blood foam, take it out for about 5 minutes, then wash it with clear water, and then set it aside to drain.

Step two:

Prepare ingredients for mutton stew. Slice the onion, slice the ginger and cut the garlic in half. Then add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, first stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic, and then add spices such as fragrant leaves, pepper and cinnamon to make them fragrant.

Pay attention to the trick: you can't put star anise spice! Although it is ok to put star anise in pork stew, the addition of star anise in mutton stew will make mutton soup black and affect the taste of our mutton soup. If the mutton you cooked is finally juiced, you can add star anise.

Step 3:

After the spices are sauteed, put the mutton into the pot and stir-fry evenly with the spices. At this time, the fire should not be too big, let the flavor of the seasoning slowly penetrate into the mutton, and fry the mutton until the surface is golden.

Step 4:

You don't need to take out the mutton. Continue to add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 3 tbsp soy sauce to the pot, stir-fry and color, then add water to the pot, and add appropriate amount of salt and dried pepper. Boil with high fire first, then simmer with low fire 1 hour.

Pay attention to the trick: no cooking wine! At this step, many friends will add cooking wine to deodorize. In fact, cooking wine is forbidden for mutton stew. When cooking wine comes into contact with mutton, it will sour the taste of mutton and lose the delicacy of mutton itself.

Step five:

After mutton stew 1 hour, uncover the pot cover, put the cut radish into the mutton pot, stir-fry and stew for about 10 minute. When the radish is soft, it can be cooked. Some friends like mutton after juice. At this time, they can leave some in the pot to collect juice and make two flavors.
