Step 1
Prepare ingredientsStep 2
It is best to soak sheep and scorpions in clean water for two hours, changing the water three times in the middle to fully soak the blood. (This step can effectively remove the mutton smell. Of course, if you like to eat the mutton smell, you can also omit this step and just clean it.)Step 3
soaked sheepBlanch the scorpions in a pot under cold water and add a small amount of peppercorns and ginger slices (the peppercorns and ginger slices used for blanching are not in the ingredient list).Step 4
After the water boils, skim off the foam and remove the sheep and scorpions for later use. Also keep the soup.Step 5
Heat the pan and add oil. Add 12g of white sugar to the cold oil and stir-fry until the color turns brown. Beginners must stir-fry over low heat until the color turns brown and red and bubbles rise. (Be sure to control it carefully, otherwise it will be bitter.)Step 6
After frying until the sugar color is good, add the blanched sheep scorpions and stir-fry until each piece of meat is evenly coated in the sugar color.Step 7
Push the fried lamb scorpion to one side of the pot to expose the oil, add the bean paste into the oil and stir-fry until the red oil comes out (medium-low heat).Step 8
Then add onions, ginger (just fluff it with a knife, no need to slice it) and all the spices.Step 9
Stir fry for two minutes (low heat).Step 10
Add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.Step 11
Stir fry evenly.Step 12
Pour in a can and a half of beer. (You must use beer. I remember one time when I was making it, I was too lazy to buy beer and put water in it. Then my family said that it didn’t taste as good as before. They didn’t know that they didn’t add beer. It seems that the difference is quite big.)Step 13
After the beer boils, pour it into the casserole. (I like to use a casserole to stew meat, which makes the meat taste better than stewing it in a wok.)Step 14
Add the broth that you just blanched and skimmed off the foam, and add a small piece of butter hot pot ingredients (the addition of butter hot pot ingredients is that the butter can effectively stimulate the aroma of the mutton, and secondly, if you don’t have all the spices at home, you can add Properly supply hot pot ingredients, but be sure not to add too much. If you add too much, it will become Sichuan spicy hot pot. The choice of hot pot ingredients is also very important. I usually use Fanye or Ciqikou pure butter ingredients). Cover and simmer over low heat for one to one and a half hours. 20 minutes before serving, add appropriate amount of salt to taste (because bean paste, hot pot ingredients, light and dark soy sauce all contain salt, so add it appropriately by tasting). If you like chicken essence and MSG, you can add it before serving.Step 15
The delicious braised lamb and scorpion is out of the pot (the coriander is purely for decoration, you don’t need to put it at home), it’s super delicious.Step 16
It’s more delicious when heated over low heat and eaten at the same time. When the meat is almost done, you can add soup to the hot pot. Haha, the best companions are mung bean vermicelli and fried yuba! Cooking tips for braised lamb and scorpions1. If you are afraid that the sugar color will not be good when frying, you can also boil the sugar color in advance and add it when the meat is fried. This can avoid spoiling the pot of meat.
