When I travel to a city, besides visiting scenic spots, I prefer walking in old streets and alleys to taste special food. For example, like the ancient city of Dunhuang, which we visited some time ago, perhaps everyone's impression of it is often about the Mogao Grottoes and Yumenguan, but in fact, Dunhuang, which is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, is also worth punching in because of its unique geographical environment.

The first delicious food worth punching in when traveling to Dunhuang-yellow noodles of donkey meat

If we say which snack in Dunhuang is the most authentic, then yellow noodles of donkey meat must be one of them. As the name implies, the yellow noodles of donkey meat are the partners of donkey meat and yellow noodles. The method of making the yellow noodles is to put the yellow noodles into a pot, put them on a plate, and then pour them with fried sauce. The raw materials of the sauce are diced fragrant dried celery and diced celery, and the sauce is made into a sticky paste.

finally, put the marinated donkey meat on the yellow noodles. The donkey meat marinated with spices tastes fresh and fragrant, and it can also taste a sweet taste. When eating, it will be even better to mix the noodles, sauces and donkey meat. Generally speaking, a noodle soup will be delivered, which tastes ordinary, perhaps just to get bored.

the second delicious food worth punching in Dunhuang-hand-grabbed mutton

If you travel to Gansu, you must try the special hand-grabbed mutton, which is almost as popular as beef noodles in the local area. Therefore, when you arrive in Dunhuang, you might as well try this delicious food. The local method of making hand-grabbed mutton is extremely simple. Just add ginger, onion and salt when cooking mutton. Even such a simple ingredient is extremely delicious when you taste it.

mutton in Dunhuang, like other mutton in the northwest, will not smell bad when eaten, so even friends who don't like mutton will not refuse this delicious food when they come to Dunhuang. Personally, I prefer this pure boiled mutton to kebabs and roast whole sheep, which basically keeps the texture and taste of mutton better.

The third delicious food worth punching in Dunhuang-scrambled eggs with shallots

From the outside, it seems to have the visual sense of leeks, but compared with leeks, it is much rarer. It grows in the crevices of rocks on the edge of deserts such as Gansu and Xinjiang, and is purely natural, so it can only be tasted in these areas. After all, it is not easy to come from.

The most common way to eat Allium mongolicum Regel is scrambled eggs. Green Allium mongolicum Regel with yellow eggs has a high value, while spicy Allium mongolicum Regel with light eggs makes me like it better than leek scrambled eggs.

the fourth delicious food worth punching in Dunhuang-apricot skin water

There are not many desserts in the northwest. Besides yogurt, my personal favorite is apricot skin water. Apricot skin water originated in Dunhuang area, because Li Guangxing is abundant in the area. The local people dried apricot skin according to local conditions and added rock sugar to boil it into apricot skin water. Why do you like apricot skin water? Because it tastes sweet and sour, and it is not sweet but sweet, it is very suitable for lovers to cool off the summer heat, and it is also very suitable for greasy after eating kebabs.

Of course, in addition to the four cuisines mentioned by Ma Qibing, you should not miss the following cuisines when you travel to Dunhuang, such as Hu mutton braised cake, ear-soaked oil cake, mutton powder soup, stuffed skin and so on. In short, Dunhuang, which is located next to the Gobi desert in the northwest, has become one of the most popular tourist destinations with its unique scenery and delicious food.
