Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Medicinal Soup] Prepare a spice bag blended with Dong Quai (promotes blood circulation), lovage, Rehmannia (black color source), cassia, and licorice.
- Put water, spice bag, massive ginger slices, and rice wine in a large pot; brew slowly until pitch-black with a sweet-bitter aroma.
- Season with salt and a little rock sugar.
- [Mutton Cooking (Seconds)] Put fresh mutton (thin sliced lamb) in a ladle (or skimmer), pass it briefly 'for dozens of seconds' through the boiling black soup like shabu-shabu (simmering toughens it, NG).
- Lay massive 'shredded ginger' in a bowl, top with the faintly pink mutton.
- Pour the piping hot medicinal soup to finish.

Trivia
[For Adults] An easy, single-serving stall version of 'Yangrou Lu' (mutton hot pot for groups). Draws massive lines at Yilan's Luodong Night Market. Dong Quai aroma and ginger brilliantly erase the mutton's gamey smell, drawing out umami to the limit.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Dipping the mutton and ginger into a special sauce mixing Taiwan's sweet 'Doufu Ru (fermented tofu paste)' and 'chili sauce' is pure bliss!
