- water: enough to cover the ingredients, needs 1000ml
Steps
- Peel the daikon, cut into 3-5cm large chunks with a rolling cut, set aside.
- Ask the vendor to cut the lamb ribs when buying, because a home knife is generally hard to cut through, set aside.
- Add lamb to a pot of cold water, add half the cooking wine, half the scallion and ginger, boil for 10 minutes to remove odor; (optional) during blanching, skim off any blood foam with a spoon.
- In another pot of cold water, add the cut daikon, add half of the rock sugar, when the water boils, cook 5 minutes to remove the pungency of the daikon.
- Remove the blanched lamb ribs and put into a pressure cooker, add water to cover all ingredients, then add about 300ml more water.
- Add the remaining scallion, ginger, cooking wine, Sichuan peppercorns, rock sugar, Angelica dahurica (optional), and salt, cover the pot and wait until it comes to pressure, then time it and braise over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
- If there is no pressure cooker, put into a regular pot and braise for about 40 minutes to 1 hour.
- Turn off the heat, wait for the pressure cooker to release pressure completely, open the lid, add the previously blanched daikon, adjust seasoning, add 3-10g of salt or water, taste the soup for saltiness,
- Turn the heat back on, over medium heat, bring the pressure cooker back to pressure and braise for another 10 minutes; for a regular pot, cover and braise for another 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and plate.
Notes
- During cooking, watch the boiling water level; if it drops below 2/3 of the ingredients, add hot water to cover the ingredients. If you follow this guide and find problems or processes that can be improved, please raise an Issue or Pull request.
