The Muslim signature dish is eight bowls of Muslim food.
The Eight Muslim Bowls are a traditional form of folk banquet, which refers to eight kinds of stews packed in large bowls. They pay attention to thick materials, heavy materials, pure soup, wide range of materials, comprehensive techniques and well-known meat. Beef, mutton, chicken, duck and fish are all included in the Eight Bowls.
stew, boil, stew, fry, burn, steam and other techniques are often used, and the big juice is thick and served in a big bowl. Eight bowls can be eaten separately or combined into seats according to their own tastes, and gradually become the first choice for holidays, celebrations, weddings, funerals, inviting relatives and friends, and business banquets.
Historical development:
Historically, the Hui people in Dachang lived in poverty and were very hospitable. For this reason, the industrious and intelligent Hui people have created a banquet form-"eight Muslim bowls", which is both frugal and expresses the atmosphere of banquet. There are stewed beef, stewed chop suey, carrots, long yam, kelp, vinegar-preserved Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, meatballs, fried tofu and so on in the "eight bowls", and the compatibility is flexible.
two bowls of chop suey and two bowls of meat can be served to the slightly rich; If you are poor, you can only put a "vegetable hat" on the eight bowls, and all the carrots will be used at the bottom. It has been going on for hundreds of years. From this set of halal recipes, we can appreciate one spot of muslim food culture of Dachang, because it fully shows the intelligence of the Hui people.
