1. Xinjiang Noodles (Noodles) Xinjiang is in the northwest of China and belongs to the north. Northerners, on the other hand, are always unhappy, and eating noodles for three meals a day will not be too boring. Xinjiang mixed noodles is a unique food for Xinjiang people, and people in other places really can't get used to it. Noodles in the south are famous for their delicacy. Noodles are thin and long. Besides dry mixed noodles, noodles always bring their own soup. In Xinjiang, except soup, rice, noodles and soup, all the pasta is dry, so it is called mixed noodles. Noodles, as the name implies, are vegetables and noodles mixed together. But the most special thing about Xinjiang mixed noodles is the thickness of noodles. The noodles in the mixed noodles are as thick as chopsticks, and some are even thicker than chopsticks! Some people may say that you can't chew, but you won't. The most prominent feature of Xinjiang mixed noodles is that noodles are chewy and chewy, and people who have eaten them are full of praise. Xinjiang mixed noodles also has a special name: latiao! As long as you go to Xinjiang to eat noodles, when it comes to eating noodles, the store knows what you want to eat!

Second, saute spicy chicken The saute spicy chicken in Xinjiang is also a special food in Xinjiang. You must not forget to taste delicious food in Xinjiang. Isn't it just a plate of fried chicken with potatoes? Momo's southern classmates once asked me this question. Yes, that's it, but it's completely different. Large-scale chickens can choose native chicken, broiler chicken, Sanhuang chicken, snow chicken, laying hens and so on. Different kinds of chickens have different tastes of finished products. Even for the same kind of chicken, the meat quality and price vary greatly from place to place. Fried chicken is simple, but the steps are complicated. Saute plate chicken should be pickled after initial processing, mixed with auxiliary materials, sugar and chicken soup. After all these are solved, you can stir fry in the pot, otherwise you really can't make its unique taste. Some people still have to ask, what is the difference between fried chicken with potatoes and fried chicken? So what's the difference between Lanzhou beef noodles and braised beef noodles? Every dish must have its reason.

Third, hand-grabbed rice If you can eat mixed noodles in the north, then Xinjiang will only have hand-grabbed rice. None of my classmates in the south have heard of this kind of rice. However, hand-grabbed rice is the most common food in Xinjiang. Every household in Xinjiang will cook it and eat it once a week. What is grasping food by hand? What's the name of mansaf in Uyghur? Poirot? . The method is to fry onions, carrot sticks and mutton slices in oil, then add washed rice and water for stewing and steaming. Does this sound simple? It's not hard to do. Pilaf is rich in nutrition, has the effect of food supplement, and is also one of the necessary foods for Uighurs to celebrate holidays and entertain guests. Why is it called finger food? Because at first I grabbed food with my hands! But now everyone eats pilaf with chopsticks or spoons instead of grabbing it directly. But this name has been passed down to this day.
