Where do you get mutton?

I was really happy with the results, @President_Mochi! Everything was super flavorful, especially the rice and the bean cakes. Your soba noodles look fab by the way!

Radicchio and orange salad. This vinegrette was excellent. Balsamic vinegar, walnut oil, orange juice and orange zest.

I based it on this recipe, but no shallots or walnuts.

My pickles typically haven’t noticeably fermented after 36 hours.

Yes, where do you find mutton? I’ve been looking for it for years in the San Francisco area and the only source I found would only sell me a whole sheep.

I bought it from a Mexican grocery store in Houston area. I remember in
Chicago I also got from a Mexican grocery store 4-5 years ago.

Right, it’s very lightly fermented. The point is to get rid of the raw
taste while keeping it crispy

Got it from a local Mexican grocery store in Houston.

Many halal and hispanic markets sell it.

Did they sell both lamb and mutton? They call them both cordero.

I’ve asked about mutton at every halal butcher in this area. Only lamb.

Depending on the market, you may have to special order it. Keep in mind that halal markets only sell freshly butchered meat so if it’s a smaller or less busy market, it may not be something they bring in every day.

I always ask about ordering it. No luck.

Spicy, I love looking at you posts. I would really appreciate more recipes or guidelines. I’m not too familiar with the Sichuan kitchen.

Thanks!
