How To Make red braised lamb shank

  • Step 1
    Add oil to a Dutch oven. Season the shanks with salt and pepper. Brown the shanks on all sides. Transfer the shanks to a plate.
  • Step 2
    Add the garlic, Shaoxing wine, water, rock sugar and soy sauces. Bring to a boil.
  • Step 3
    Reduce to a simmer and add the shanks back to the Dutch oven. Simmer covered for about 1 1/2 hours, turning the shanks so they cook evenly, until the meat is very tender.
  • Step 4
    Uncover and cook for 20 more minutes until the braising liquid is reduced to a thick glossy sauce. Add the scallions and serve.
