When I travel to a city, in addition to visiting scenic spots, I also like to walk in the old streets and alleys to taste special food. For example, the ancient city of Dunhuang, which we visited some time ago, may often be remembered as the Mogao Grottoes and Yumenguan, but in fact, Dunhuang, located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, is also worth punching in because of its unique geographical environment.

1 A delicious food worth punching in Dunhuang-yellow noodles of donkey meat

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

Finally, put the pickled donkey meat on the yellow noodles. Donkey meat marinated with spices tastes fresh and sweet. When eating, it is better to mix noodles, sauces and donkey meat together. Generally speaking, a noodle soup will be sent, which tastes ordinary and may be just to relieve boredom.

The second delicious food worth punching in when traveling to 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 very simple. Add ginger, onion and salt when cooking mutton. Even such a simple ingredient tastes extremely delicious.

Mutton in Dunhuang, like other mutton in northwest China, will not smell bad, 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 Food Worth Punching in Dunhuang —— Scrambled Eggs with Onions

From the outside, it seems to have the visual sense of leek, but it is much rarer than leek. It is a natural growth that grows in the crevices of deserts such as Gansu and Xinjiang, so it can only be tasted in these areas. After all, it's hard to come by.

The most common way to eat shallots is scrambled eggs. The green shallots of yellow eggs are of high value. Compared with scrambled eggs with leeks, I like scrambled eggs with scallion with pungent taste better.

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 this area. The local people dried apricot skin according to local conditions, and added rock sugar to make 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 heat and is also very suitable for greasy after eating kebabs.

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