There is also a touching legend about pilaf. According to legend, more than a thousand years ago, there was a doctor named Ibn Sina. In his later years, he was very weak and took a lot of medicine to no avail. Later, he studied a kind of rice for dietary therapy. He selected beef, mutton, carrots, onions, clear oil, mutton fat and rice, added water and salt and simmered them over low heat. This kind of rice has the characteristics of color, taste and aroma, which can arouse people's appetite. So he ate a small bowl in the morning and evening. After half a month, his body gradually recovered. People around him were very surprised, thinking that he had taken some miraculous medicine. Later, he passed on this "prescription" to everyone, and it has become a common meal among Uyghurs. We won’t examine whether this legend is true, but pilaf is a very nutritious food, but it is real. Clear oil, butter, onions, carrots and rice are all supplements containing multiple vitamins, especially carrots, which are known as "little ginseng" and "ground ginseng". Rice cooked with such ingredients is certainly nourishing. [1]
