Muslim Eight Bowls is a traditional folk banquet form for Muslims, which refers to eight kinds of stews packed in large bowls. They pay attention to thick materials, pure soup, wide materials, comprehensive techniques and famous meat. Beef, mutton, chicken, duck and fish are all contained in eight bowls.

Stew, boil, stew, stir-fry, burn, steam and other techniques are often used, with thick juice and full bowls. Eight bowls can be eaten alone or combined into seats according to their own tastes, and gradually become the first choice for holidays, celebrations, weddings, funerals, invitations to relatives and friends, and business banquets.

Historical development:

Historically, the Hui people in Dachang lived in poverty and were very hospitable. To this end, the industrious and intelligent Hui people created a banquet form-"Muslim Eight Bowls", which was frugal and expressed the atmosphere of the banquet. "Eight bowls" include stewed beef, stewed chop suey, carrot, long yam, kelp, vinegar-pickled cabbage, vermicelli, meatballs, fried tofu, etc. The compatibility is flexible.

A little richer can serve two bowls of chop suey and two bowls of meat; If you are poor, you can only wear a "vegetable hat" on eight bowls, and all carrots are used at the bottom. It has been going on for hundreds of years. From this set of halal recipes, we can appreciate the Muslim food culture in Dachang, because it fully shows the wisdom of the Hui people.
