As a Beijinger, I am happy to answer this question. As one of the largest cities in China, Beijing has a long history and rich culture. There are also many delicious foods here, and barbecue is one of them. Below I will give a comprehensive analysis of Beijing’s specialty barbecue.
First of all, to answer your question: Beijing has many types of specialty barbecues, the most famous of which are mutton skewers and beef skewers. In addition, there are also chicken wings, duck necks, beef louvers, etc. These skewers are excellent in terms of hygiene, raw materials, and taste, and have become an indispensable part of Beijing's food culture.
Secondly, I would like to highlight two special barbecues: mutton skewers and beef skewers.
1. Mutton skewers:
The first thing I want to talk about is the browned lamb, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Each skewer is piled with excellent taste and evenly coated with seasonings. Spices, cumin seeds, peppercorns and other condiments. Of course, you can’t enjoy mutton kebabs without side dishes, such as fresh green peppers, onions, eggplants, etc. In short, you will never eat only lamb.
2. Beef skewers:
Beef skewers are much more tender and smooth than mutton skewers, with less ingredients and a very fresh taste. The meat of each skewer is very tender and the color is consistent inside and outside. What is worth mentioning here are the techniques of garnishing, for example, the dipping sauce is based on chili oil, mixed with coriander and minced garlic.
Finally, in addition to mutton skewers and beef skewers, there are many other types of specialty barbecue in Beijing. Such as wing barbecue, gluten barbecue, etc. In general, Beijing's specialty barbecue has various types, excellent taste and exquisite workmanship.
Hope you get a chance to taste these delicacies!
