Xinjiang stew

Overview

This dish is the most common one on my dining table, but it is the most popular among the whole family. It has a strong flavor of cumin mutton, paired with the slightly sour taste of tomatoes, the spiciness of peppers, and the freshness of potatoes. You can’t help but salivate! This dish is also representative. It was the first dish that my husband cooked. You may not believe it. When I first got married, I didn’t know how to cook, and my husband couldn’t cook either. We had to be busy with work. It was obvious that we had three meals a day. My mother couldn’t stand it anymore, so it became a meal every night. After dinner at my mother's house, I went back to my own house. It was like this for six years. During this period, my mother cooked for us in various ways. But every time I saw my mother busy in the kitchen and the growing number of gray hairs on her temples, I felt guilty. I told myself more than once that I should learn to cook and become independent! When I was about to tell my husband about this idea, one day at the dining table at my mother's house, my husband solemnly said: Mom, you have worked hard for so many years. I have decided to learn to cook in the future. It is time for you to take a break! It turned out that he had already had this intention, and as he said, my husband officially started cooking. The first dish - Xinjiang stew. I remember I was shocked when I tasted it. How could someone who had never been in the kitchen make such an authentic dish? It turned out that my husband had already thought about cooking by himself. In his spare time, he went to Xinjiang friends who knew how to cook and learned from him for a while. In order to surprise me, he kept it secret from me. After listening to this, I was moved to tears! From then on, under the guidance of my husband, I began to learn and cook at the same time, constantly exploring. We exchanged experiences with each other and summarized the reasons for failure. Our cooking skills have improved more and more, and our relationship has become deeper and deeper. Hard work pays off, and now I can proudly tell everyone that my husband and I can both Now that I’m cooking, my husband, the chef who learned cooking before me, has now been photographed on the beach. Because my husband often travels on business, he has less opportunities to cook. Now I have officially grown into the master chef of our family. Every weekend and holiday, I will cook a few special dishes and invite my parents to get together. My mother has the most say. She praised my cooking skills very much!
