"Yoyo, since you can recognize these four medicinal materials for boiling Siwu Soup, then you must also know that many medicinal materials often used in Chinese medicine have a special aromatic smell, which is actually common to spices. If you're going to cook a dish with the theme of blending all kinds of flavors, it's also a good way to learn from this aspect. Old man An said.

As he spoke, the old man soaked the four flavors of Chinese herbs Angelica, Chuanxiong, Rehmannia and White Peony, plus an appropriate amount of wolfberry, and soaked them in water for about half an hour.

While the old man was soaking the medicinal herbs, Cai Youyou naturally couldn't just stand there and watch.

While learning the knowledge and skills of cooking from the old man, she helped to start, cut the onion into pieces, wash and slice the cabbage and carrots, cut the green onion into chopped green onions, cut the coriander into minced pieces, and then blanched the cabbage slightly in the water, and prepared for cooking this mutton soup.

After waiting for half an hour, Mr. An poured enough water into the pressure cooker, poured the soaked four things together with water into the pressure cooker, put in the mutton and cooking wine, and simmered for half an hour over medium heat.

After that, remove the lid, add the chopped carrots, turmeric, cumin, star anise and coriander tendons, cook for another 20 minutes, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, cook for a while, wait until all the ingredients have absorbed the flavor, and then serve on the plate.

Cai Youyou carefully put the scalded cabbage and onions on both sides of the soup bowl, put out the mutton and carrots in the pot, sprinkled the chopped coriander and chopped green onions on top, and then poured the steaming mutton soup on it, and the mutton soup was completed.

At the dinner table, Old Man An looked at Cai Youyou with a smile and said: "The dish of mutton four-thing soup is a medicinal diet cooked with the soup base made of four traditional Chinese medicines, namely angelica, Chuanxiong, rehmannia and white peony, which has the effect of nourishing blood and invigorating blood, strengthening the stomach and spleen. Yoyo, let's try the taste of this dish. ”

Cai Youyou nodded, filled all the ingredients a little bit in a small soup bowl, and began to taste it.

While tasting it, she told Old Man An her opinion on this dish.

After careful stewing, the medicinal ingredients in the ingredients and the special aroma are extracted and integrated into the lamb, carrots and soup base.

In doing so, it not only makes the texture of the mutton softer, but also greatly enriches the texture of the mutton and soup base.

The warm aroma that is constantly released in the mutton comes not only from the four medicinal herbs in the Siwu soup and the four spices added by Old Man An, but also from the vegetables that Cai Youyou prepared for Old Man An.

The sweetness of the vegetables and the smell of spices soak into the lamb, making the whole dish taste milder.

At the same time, the deliciousness of the carefully stewed lamb also brings out the aromas hidden in the herbs and spices, making the whole dish achieve a balance of taste.

As Mr. An said, this mutton soup perfectly interprets the theme of Baiwei harmony.

Listening to Cai Youyou's words, Old Man An squinted his eyes with satisfaction and nodded: "Your analysis is good." It can be seen that you have your own deep and sharp insights into the cuisine. But you know what? Even if it's ......"
