Dishes
Cold NoodlesCold noodles are a dish primarily made from a thin wheat flour dough, steamed and then cooled before being sliced into strips. It is typically served with seasonings such as vinegar, soy sauce, garlic paste, sesame paste, and chili oil, along with accompaniments like cucumber ribbons and bean sprouts, offering a refreshing and smooth texture.
Big Plate ChickenDa Pan Ji is a dish primarily made with chicken, potatoes, and noodles. Chicken is cut into pieces and stewed with spices and seasonings, along with diced potatoes, until fully flavored. Finally, cooked noodles are mixed with the stewed chicken and potatoes to absorb the rich broth.
Hand-held LambHand-grabbed mutton is a dish primarily made with mutton, typically using tender leg or back meat. The preparation involves cleaning and cutting the mutton into pieces, then marinating it with spices before cooking it using specific methods such as boiling, steaming, or roasting until the meat becomes tender and juicy. It is commonly enjoyed by tearing it apart with hands, often accompanied by dipping sauces to enhance the flavor.
Hand-Grabbed RiceHand-pulled rice is a dish made from rice, mutton, carrots, onions, and other ingredients. To prepare it, first stew the mutton until tender, then add diced carrots and onions, and cook together with rice to allow the rice to fully absorb the meat's aroma and the vegetables' natural sweetness.
Spicy Pepper Lamb RibsSpicy pepper lamb ribs made with tender lamb ribs, marinated and pan-seared, then seasoned with Sichuan peppercorns and chili for a bold, numbingly spicy flavor.
Lamb SkewersLamb skewers are made by cutting fresh, tender lamb into chunks, threading them onto bamboo or metal skewers, and marinating before grilling directly over charcoal. During grilling, the lamb's fat drips onto the fire, creating smoke that熏 (smokes) the meat, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior with rich aroma.
Lamb DumplingsMutton buns are made with flour wrappers filled with minced mutton, seasoned with scallions, ginger, and cilantro, then steamed. Key ingredients include mutton, flour, scallions, ginger, and cilantro.
Flavorful Mixed VegetablesFlavorful mixed vegetables use fresh ingredients like cucumber, carrot, and bean sprouts, blanched or sliced directly, then tossed with seasonings. Common dressings include soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and chili oil, adjusted to taste.

Naan is a特色 flatbread from Xinjiang, and grilled meat is usually made from sliced lamb or beef that has been marinated, then stir-fried together with naan pieces to allow the naan to absorb the meat juices, resulting in a rich and flavorful dish.
