Hot Lamb SoupHot lamb is a dish primarily made with fresh lamb meat, typically using lamb leg or lamb belly. The meat is cut into pieces, blanched in water to remove blood foam, then stewed with ingredients such as ginger slices and scallions to ensure the lamb is thoroughly cooked while remaining tender. A small amount of cooking wine can be added during cooking to remove fishy odor, and finally garnished with chopped scallions or cilantro.

Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal.
