Ingredients

  • 1lb Lean boneless leg of lamb
  • Lamb tail fat, sliced
  • Ginger slices
  • Scallion slices
  • Soy sauce
  • FOR THE DIPS:
  • Sesame paste
  • Fermented bean curd
  • Shrimp oil

  • Vineger
  • Rice wine
  • Preserved chinese chive flowers
  • Preserved sweet garlic

  • Chili (chilli) oil

Directions

1

Cooking utensil: a charcoal-burning fire pot for cooking at the table.

2

1. Cut the mutton into paper-thin slices about 2 1/2 inches by 1 inch . It will be easier to slice if partially frozen first. Spread them on individual serving dishes. Arrange the dips and side dishes in bowls.

3

2. Half-fill the fire pot with boiling water. Add the sliced scallion and ginger, mutton tail fat, and a little soy sauce. Cover the pot lid tightly.

4

Fill the chimney with burning charcoal and bring the stock to a boil.

5

3. To eat, the diners mix their own sauces from the condiments and seasonings.

6

Then they pick up the mutton slices and cook them in the boiling stock for a few seconds, until the meat turns pinkish-white. The meat is then dipped into the sauce. The best pastry to go with the meat is shaobing - the Chinese baked sesame cakes.
