Braised mutton, a specialty Chinese dish based on mutton, is popular for its unique taste and nutritional value. Among them, Huzhou's braised mutton, which has a history of thousands of years, is deeply loved by people because of its special production method and taste.
So, how should braised lamb be cooked to make it have a good color, aroma, taste, and taste? Let's take a look.
1.If you want to make the braised mutton red and bright in color, delicious in taste, and not fat, you need to master the heat
Generally speaking, the cooking time of braised lamb will be relatively long, because braised lamb needs to cook the meat of the lamb until it is soft and rotten, so that it can be more palatable. So during the cooking process, we need to control the heat to avoid cooking for too long and causing the lamb to get old.
2.The choice of seasoning is also important
Under normal circumstances, braised mutton needs to be seasoned with seasonings such as green onions, ginger and garlic, millet spicy, salt, light soy sauce, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, cooking oil, soybean paste, rock sugar and so on. It should be noted that some people like to add soy sauce to the cooking process, but this may make the lamb taste worse, so we can choose to use light soy sauce and dark soy sauce to enhance the flavor, using an ancestral recipe without salt and vinegar, for a more delicious taste.
3.In the process of cooking braised lamb, you also need to pay attention to the choice of side dishes
For example, when cooking braised mutton, you can add vegetable ingredients such as carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and spices such as onions, shallots, ginger, orange peel, red dates, star anise, etc., which can not only enhance the nutritional value of braised mutton, but also make it richer in taste.
4.Final steps
You can start by soaking the lamb in cold water for a while, which will remove the blood from the lamb and make it more delicious. In addition, during the cooking process, we can also add some spices such as cinnamon, star anise, etc., which can make the flavor of braised lamb more intense.
In general, cooking braised lamb requires a good grasp of the heat, the choice of seasonings and side dishes, and some tips. Only in this way can you make broiled lamb that is excellent, fragrant, flavorful, and has a better taste.
During the production process, we can also make appropriate adjustments and innovations according to our own tastes and preferences, so as to cook the most suitable braised lamb for ourselves.
