Step 2

Mutton has a strong smell of mutton, so the spices should be as complete as possible. Sichuan peppercorns and cumin have a good effect in removing fishy and mutton smell, so these two spices cannot be missing.

It is best to use this kind of gauze bag to put all the spices in during production, so that you don’t have to worry about skimming out the scattered spices after the mutton is stewed. Illustration of how to make water basin mutton, a good supplement for autumn and winter 4

After boiling, cook for 5-7 minutes to fully analyze the blood in the mutton. Take it out and rinse it to remove the scum.

Step 7

Keep simmering over medium-low heat for about an hour and a half. If you are using a stove, use the smallest heat possible. If you want to save some worry, use an electric stew pot. Once you set the time, you don’t have to keep an eye on it. Illustration of how to make water basin mutton, a good supplement for autumn and winter 8

In yesterday's recipe, I used fried tofu. I just have a small bowl left at home, so I can put it in the mutton soup. The tofu absorbs the soup easily and tastes particularly delicious. Illustration of how to make water basin mutton, a good supplement for autumn and winter 12

For those who are more particular about it, if you want to pair it with the water basin mutton, you should also eat it with a few cloves of sugared garlic, a spoonful of spicy oil and crescent moon cakes. Both spicy and sugary garlic are easy to prepare. If we don’t have authentic Crescent Shaobing, we can use sesame Shaobing instead, which is also quite delicious. As the weekend approaches, I buy a few kilograms of mutton and let the warm smell of delicious food fill the kitchen. It is really a happy thing to enjoy delicious food.
