Braised Lamb Spine

Braised Lamb Spine

Lamb spine racks, soaked and blanched, pressure-braise in a rich sauce layered with star anise, tsaoko, angelica root, and cinnamon until the marrow-infused meat slides off bone, a warming Beijing-style winter stew.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Soak the lamb spine in water (changing the water several times), then put it in a pot with cold water and scallion sections. After the water boils (do not add cooking wine or ginger), blanch for 10-15 minutes. Remove and rinse off the foam with hot water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix light soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce in the ratio of 2:1:0.5:0.5 and put it in a bowl (measurement unit: a stir-fry spoon 😁). Heat oil in a pan, add star anise, sauté to release the aroma of the spices, then add the sauce, pour in water, and put it into a pressure cooker.

    Add the seasonings and chopped green onions, pour boiling water until it covers the meat, and cook for 5-7 minutes after the water starts boiling. After the salt, chicken essence, and sugar have released their aroma, you can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
