“With only a pinch of salt, the original flavor is preserved.” The Dongshan boiled mutton is best as a cold dish. Soft, juicy and delicious with a tangy freshness, it can be served as either a side dish for drinking or a topping for noodles. For the Dongshan locals, a bowl of Yangchun noodles topped with two slices of boiled lamb makes the most hearty and original flavor gifted by nature.
