Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the sheep scorpions and soak them in water for more than two hours. Put the cold water and the sheep scorpions into the pot together. When the water boils, skim off the floating foam. Filter and remove the sheep scorpions. Set aside the remaining water.

   

2. 2 Get all the spices ready

   

3. 3 Pour oil into the pot (at least twice the amount of normal cooking oil), and then add a spoonful of butter. (I buy beef fat and make butter myself. I usually use it when stewing beef brisket)

   

4. 4 Add the scallions and simmer the scallion oil over medium-low heat

   

5. 5 When the onions are slightly burnt, take them out

   

6. 6 Add two tablespoons of Pixian bean paste and simmer over low heat until the red oil comes out

   

7. 7 Add appropriate amount of hot pot base ingredients and stir-fry until melted

   

8. 8 Pour all the spices (my star anise and cinnamon are mixed into powder, bay leaves and Sichuan peppercorns are powdered separately, so that they will be more flavorful when added to stir-fry, nutmeg and grass fruits are cut with scissors, and dried chili peppers are cut in half) into the pot, stir-fry over low heat until fragrant

   

9. 9 Add the remaining water from the scorpion blanching

   

10. 10 Add the lamb scorpion, add enough water to cover the lamb scorpion, add coriander root, a spoonful of sweet noodle sauce, sugar, simmer over high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover and simmer for one hour

    

11. 11 Add an appropriate amount of salt according to personal taste and continue to simmer on low heat for half an hour. Then pour it all into the hot pot and turn on the lowest setting. We have prepared three kinds of hot-pot dishes, fungus, frozen tofu, and baby cabbage. Then pour a glass of wine, throw back your arms and enjoy!
