Tasting Xinjiang's special cuisine is what every visitor to Xinjiang yearns for. Let's introduce some delicious food in Xinjiang, and tell you some places to pay attention to and delicious places ~

1. "Naan" is the staple food in the daily life of Uighurs and other ethnic groups. It is made of fermented flour and baked in a pit. Can be stored for a long time, with many kinds and sizes. The largest naan is 50 cm in diameter, thick around, thin in the middle, poked with patterns, and put a little salt and onion. The smallest naan is only as big as an ordinary cup, and the thickest naan is about 6 cm. In addition, there are meat naan, oil naan and sweet naan, which are crisp and fragrant. You may all know "Kathy's capsule",

2. "Pilaf" is a necessary food for festivals and hospitality, which is called "Polo" in Uygur language. The practice is to fry onions, carrot sticks and mutton pieces with vegetable oil first, and then add clean rice and water to stew and steam. After cooking, it smells fragrant, sweet, sour and salty, and the mutton is fresh and tender. Grab with your hands when eating, hence the name. Pilaf is rich in nutrition and has the effect of food supplement, which is widely loved by people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

3. "Roast whole sheep" is the most distinctive food, and it is a necessary dish in VIP banquet.

"Roast whole sheep" is well done. Choose lambs under two years old. After slaughter, remove hooves and viscera, and make paste with white flour, salt water, eggs, turmeric, pepper and cumin powder. They are evenly coated on the sheep, inserted on wooden sticks and stewed in a special pit for about an hour.

"Barbecue kebab" is a traditional snack of Uygur people. Put the fresh mutton slices on the skewers, bake them in a rectangular oven, sprinkle with salt, Chili noodles and cumin powder, and you can eat them in a few minutes. It tastes slightly spicy, fragrant but not greasy, fresh and delicious. It is estimated that everyone is familiar with this. My Hunan classmate feels uncomfortable eating mutton here, but it's okay to eat mutton skewers.

In addition to mutton, chop suey head and hoof are also made into exquisite snacks, such as chop suey soup, enema, noodle lung, spicy mutton hoof, mutton head and rice sausage, all of which are delicious. At the south gate, there is a Hui noodle and lung, which tastes super fragrant. I think it's called a fat wife. Many people eat it, ranging from 3 yuan to 5 yuan, and 5 yuan is one kilogram.

Step 6 bake buns

Baked buns are baked with mutton and onions in a pit. Baked buns fresh from the pit are the most fragrant. Once it's cooled, it doesn't taste good, and sheep oil will condense together. So be sure to eat it while it's hot and ask what the stuffing is when you buy it. If it is mutton and onion, you can buy it with confidence. Some of them will add green onions and tomatoes.
