Mr. Ji Xianlin, a famous scholar, thinks that "the only place where the four major cultural systems converge in the world is Xinjiang in China". Xinjiang is located in the border of the motherland, and its unique geographical and climatic environment and rich ethnic customs determine its unique charm of food culture.

1 Xinjiang special pasta

The staple food in Xinjiang is pasta, and the most common pasta people eat is called "Naan", which is a cake made by mixing flour with fermented flour, light salt water and flour and baking. When making it, countless small holes are punched in the thin part of the bottom of the Naan, which is attached to the wall of the Naan pit and stewed. It is apricot yellow and thick around. There are sesame naan, meat naan, oil naan, sliced naan, Wowo naan, Hillman naan and other varieties. This kind of naan is not only delicious and chewy, but also rich in nutrition by adding ghee, milk and eggs.

Wheat in Xinjiang has a long growth cycle, and its flour has good bones and muscles, so it is suitable for "pulling strips". "Pulling strips" is a favorite delicacy of all ethnic groups and tourists in Xinjiang. When kneading dough, put a little salt in the water, it tastes slightly salty, and the dough is slightly soft, so it must be kneaded thoroughly, usually for half an hour. When pulling, just gently pinch the two ends, pull it long, and then pull it back. A 3-cm-long agent should be pulled to a length of more than 2 meters, which is as thin as vermicelli, and put it in a boiling pot. When the water boils, it can be taken out. There is also a stress on eating "noodles". You should drink the original soup with noodles under the bowl, otherwise it will not be easy to digest.
