1. To make stewed mutton, I prefer to use lamb shank, the taste is more delicate, soak the lamb shank in water for about 15 minutes, and you can change the water halfway

8, then add enough hot water, the amount of water should not be over the mutton, and then put the grass fruit, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, rock sugar into the pot, stir-fry evenly and then boil the soup in the pot over high heat, and then turn to low heat and simmer for 40 minutes ~ 1 hour, the stewing time should be adjusted appropriately according to their own taste, the longer the mutton is softer
