Zhang Wu ba shou mutton

Handle mutton, that is, choose mutton with tender fat, slaughter it on the spot, peel it into the pot, add seasoning and cook it. The operation is simple and lively, only a handful of salt is added (some of them are not added with salt, but dipped in salt when eating), the heat is just right, the blood disappears soon, the meat is cooked but not hard, and it tastes fresh and tender, which is very delicious. Because after eating meat with clean hands, one hand holds the meat and the other hand holds the knife, cutting, digging, picking and slicing the meat on the bones of the sheep, so it is named "mutton with hands". Handheld mutton is related to the nomadic life of Mongolian compatriots in Fuxin area in the early years. At that time, the Mongolian compatriots here mainly ate meat, so they had this unique way of eating mutton, which continues to this day. The color, aroma, taste and shape of mutton in hand represent the rough, bold, enthusiastic, pious and hospitable character of Mongolian herders in Fuxin area. Nowadays, hand-held mutton has become a delicious food for guests in Zhangwu and even Fuxin.
