Today I want to share with you the secret of stewed mutton soup in winter, just add 5 kinds of seasonings to make the fragrant, non-fishy stewed mutton soup a delicious dish on your table.
1. Soak the lamb: Before starting the lamb stew, we need to soak the lamb in water for 1 to 2 hours. This will soak out the dirty, fishy smell and blood in the mutton, ensuring that the mutton tastes more delicious.
Expansion: The longer the lamb is soaked, the better the results. I usually choose to soak the lamb in cold water a day in advance, which will better remove the fishy smell and improve the tenderness of the lamb.
2. Wash the mutton: rinse the soaked mutton many times to ensure that the dirt and impurities are washed before proceeding to the next step. After washing the lamb, cut it into large pieces and set aside.
Extension: When washing lamb, it can be rinsed with running water. If you feel that the impurities are not washed thoroughly enough, you can use a brush to gently scrub them, but be careful not to damage the texture of the lamb.
3. Blanching: Put the mutton pieces in the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, put in the green onion and ginger slices, turn the heat to high heat, boil and turn to low heat to blanch.
Extension: Blanching is done to remove the fishy smell and impurities of the lamb. After boiling, you will find a lot of dirt and foam floating in the pot, which are all impurities in the lamb. After skimming off the dirt and scum with a spoon, you can turn the heat to low and proceed to the next step.
4. Add seasoning: In the pot after blanching, add Angelica dahurica. Angelica angelica is one of the best seasonings for lamb stew, which can effectively remove the smell. Just put in a few slices of angelica, you don't need too much.
Expansion: Angelica dahurica is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, with a pungent and warm taste, which has the effect of warming the lungs and dissolving phlegm, removing the smell and relieving the body. Adding angelica to the mutton soup can make the soup more delicious and remove the smell of the mutton at the same time.
5. Stew the mutton: Cover the pot, turn to low heat and continue to stew the mutton. The simmering time is slightly longer, about 1 and a half hours of simmering, so that the aroma and nutrition of the lamb can be brought into full play.
Expansion: The timing of lamb stewing is determined by the texture and texture of the lamb. If the lamb is older, you can extend the time appropriately to make the lamb more tender and delicious. If it is tender lamb, the time can be slightly shorter so as not to overcook it.
6. Condiments: In the last 5 minutes, add salt and white pepper to taste. After stirring well with a spoon, you can turn off the heat and start drinking. As for whether to put coriander or chili oil, it can be decided according to personal taste.
Extension: Salt and white pepper are used to add to the deliciousness of the lamb stew. Salt enhances the umami of lamb, while white pepper adds a hint of spiciness. According to the preferences of personal taste, the amount of condiments can be adjusted in moderation.
