(109478 views)
It's different from the hot and colorful cooking of mutton, whole lamb and skewers of northern compatriots. Cantonese people have their own way to eat sheep: they have baichedong goat on the cold plate and bamboo lamb belly on the hot pot. Snow in the north and rain in the south. In the cold winter, nothing can nourish the body and mind more than a pot of bamboo mutton pot - a steaming casserole, mutton stewed soft and tender, beancurd sucking soup, and water chestnut sweet and crisp - warm.

Cooking Steps
Step1:The bamboo mutton pot in the restaurant is usually Dongshan mutton with skin. But it's not easy to buy in the retail market. So we choose the mutton chops and cut them into 3 cm long blocks.
Step2:The beancurd is soaked in water. The water chestnut is peeled and soaked in salt water for a while. The scallion, ginger and garlic are peeled and flattened. The vanilla is cut into sections.
Step3:Mash the beancurd, mix it with Zhuhou sauce, raw soy sauce and cooking wine to make sauce.
Step4:Blanch the mutton in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove the blood water. Rinse and drain.
Step5:Take a cast iron pot or a casserole. Cool the oil in the cold pot. Heat it to 60% heat. Add in the onion, ginger and garlic and stir in the medium heat.
Step6:Add the mutton. Stir fry until the brisket is dry and brown.
Step7:Add water chestnut and stir well.
Step8:Put in the sauce, crystal sugar, fragrant leaves and star anise. Stir well over medium high heat.
Step9:Add the uncooked hot water. After boiling, cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes.
Step10:Add in the beancurd (soak and cut into inch sections). Mix well, then continue to cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Step11:Finally, mix in salt according to your taste. Collect the juice over high heat. Sprinkle with coriander. Then you can start the pot.
Cooking tips:The sauce mixed with fermented bean curd and Zhuhou sauce is the special condiment in the pot. It's not recommended to replace it with other sauces. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
