Although it is a ridicule, it is enough to show that Xinjiang sheep grow in a natural environment. Xinjiang lamb is famous all over the world for its "warm and delicious taste". Cooking it with a simple method of stewing can maintain its essence to the greatest extent. Put the meat in cold water, the water has just overflowed the meat. As soon as the pot is opened, the big blood is moistened and the fire is reduced. Real simmering, real stewing. Scoop the slick oil from the broth in the pot one by one, and then pour it on the meat exposed out of the soup one by one. The soup in the pot always remains in a state of non-opening.
