As for mutton cooking, "northwest mutton is the best in the world", which is a recognized statement. The sheep in Xining have been nourished by saline-alkali land, plateau grassland and snow water in Qilian Mountain, and the taste is really amazing.
Guo Kang mutton chop
A Qiu has only seen this practice in Xining and around Xining. Generally, he uses lamb chops with onions, potatoes, cakes and vermicelli, and pours them into a kang pot for stew, which is a bit like the practice of nangkeng meat in Xinjiang. The side dishes inside are delicious, too. I recommend trying!
Braised sheep's hoof
Braised sheep's feet, braised sheep's feet, clear water sheep's feet, roasted sheep's feet, all kinds of practices, whether in shops or in stalls, can be easily bought and chewed. There is no fishy smell, the meat is fresh and tender, and the collagen is all white and not greasy. You must eat delicious food when you come to the northwest.
Tu Qinghai hotpot
The hot pot in Qinghai local hot pot is similar to that in old Beijing instant-boiled mutton, but mutton and other side dishes are not boiled, but cooked in hot pot before stewing. This practice is very similar to the earthen pot in Tengchong. Eat it when the weather is cold to warm the stomach.
sheep giblets soup
Mutton offal soup is the breakfast of Xining people. After the mutton offal is simmered, add seasonings such as shredded onion, or serve with steamed bread. That taste is really pure northwest flavor. Order a bowl every morning and feel warm all day!
