In Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in the northwest of China, there is a special food-hand-grabbed mutton. Different from the traditional mutton stew, the mutton is chopped into small pieces and boiled in a boiling water pot. However, even the same ingredients, the same taste and different restaurants have different tastes.
According to local gourmets, Yinchuan's "Shanghai Sandwich" is the most authentic place to grab mutton by hand. Local people like this kind of food because of the seasoning and taste here. If you want to taste authentic Ningxia hand-grabbed mutton, this is definitely your best choice.
In addition to the "Shanghai Sandwich", there is another way to eat mutton in Ningxia-clear soup and instant-boiled mutton. Different from the traditional pepper flavor, this flavor is lighter and full of umami flavor. If you like a light but delicious taste, you can try "steaming every day" outside the north gate of Yinchuan.
Finally, no matter which restaurant you choose, you'd better make an appointment by phone before you go, because hand-grabbed mutton needs to be prepared and cooked in advance, and it is usually ordered in groups. I hope you can appreciate the unique charm of hand-grabbed mutton during your food trip in Ningxia.
