Next, Liu Yanran added cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and other seasonings, and continued to stir-fry, allowing the lamb to fully absorb the flavors. Then, she poured in enough water to cover the lamb, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat.
As the mutton simmered, Liu Yanran occasionally opened the lid and stirred it to ensure even cooking. About half an hour later, she added the potatoes and simmered them alongside the mutton. The potatoes gradually softened, absorbing the mutton's broth and becoming even more flavorful.
Finally, Liu Yanran added an appropriate amount of salt and pepper to season, and then simmered the sauce over high heat. A delicious potato and lamb stew was ready.
On a cold winter day, nothing can warm and satisfy you more than a bowl of steaming hot radish and mutton soup. This soup is not only delicious but also nutritious, making it a great addition to any winter table.
The process of making this soup is not complicated, but it does require some patience and time. First, Liu Yanran picked a few fresh, juicy radishes and cut them into small pieces for later use.
Next, clean the mutton, cut it into small pieces, and blanch it in water. The purpose of blanching is to remove the blood and impurities from the mutton, making the soup clearer. After blanching, remove the mutton, rinse it with clean water, and set aside.
Next, heat the wok, add a suitable amount of oil, and stir-fry the ginger and scallions until fragrant. Next, add the lamb and stir-fry evenly until the surface is slightly golden. This will remove the mutton's strong smell and enhance the soup's flavor.
After stir-frying the lamb, pour it into a casserole and add an appropriate amount of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer for about an hour. Stir occasionally during the simmering process to prevent the lamb from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Then add the diced radish and continue simmering for about half an hour, until the radish is soft and flavorful.
Finally, add appropriate amount of salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with some chopped green onions. A bowl of fragrant and delicious radish stewed with mutton is ready.
This soup is characterized by its rich broth, tender lamb, and sweet radish. One sip brings a warm feeling down your throat and into your stomach, leaving you feeling completely refreshed. Because Liu Yanran enjoys spicy food, she added some chili oil to her own bowl to make it even more appetizing.
In the cozy restaurant, the family sat around the table, enjoying a delicious meal. Mother Cao Cuilan, eldest sister-in-law Qian Yu, second sister-in-law Luo Su, eldest brother Liu Guoqiang and second brother Liu Guodong were all immersed in the enjoyment of the food.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, exuding an alluring aroma. Each dish was carefully prepared, with a full range of colors, aromas and flavors, making people salivate.
Mother Cao Cuilan picked up a piece of tender and juicy mutton, put it in her mouth and savored it carefully. A satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she praised it endlessly, saying: "This mutton is so delicious, not smelling of mutton at all, it's soft and tasty, it's simply a delicacy on earth!" Sister-in-law Qian Yu was not to be outdone. She tasted a bite of the braised pork, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She praised: "This braised pork is fat but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and tastes amazing!" Second sister-in-law Russell praised the mutton soup. She smiled and said: "The soup is so delicious, little sister, what did you put in it? Even the radish is so delicious."
The eldest brother Liu Guoqiang and the second brother Liu Guodong also ate with gusto. As they savored the food, they shared their feelings. The eldest brother Liu Guoqiang said, "This meal is so delicious that it makes my mouth water. Every dish is so delicious that I don't know which one to try first!" The second brother Liu Guodong smiled and said, "Yes, this meal is so rich that I feel like my stomach is about to burst!"
The children were even more enthusiastic and ate until their mouths were full of oil, and their little bellies were bulging. Their aunt was so nice, she was beautiful and could cook. It would be great if they could live with their aunt forever.
Seeing her family so happy eating the meal she cooked, Liu Yanran also felt very proud. She said without hesitation: "Please call me Chef Liu, haha!"
The other families in the family compound were not so wonderful. Although they had the same meat, for some reason, the food they cooked was not as fragrant as that of the Liu family! The most speechless one was Gu Shijing's family. Not to mention that he and his brother could not cook, the food his mother cooked was only cooked. Usually, their family relied on the canteen. Today, everyone had meat, so the canteen did not light the fire. So the family ate steamed buns with hot water. It was so miserable. Gu's mother was more determined to find a daughter-in-law. She could not learn other things, but she must learn to cook!
