First, the chicken is cut into pieces and stir-fried with spices, then vegetables like potatoes and chili peppers are added, and it is slowly stewed until fully flavored. Finally, the sauce is reduced and served on a plate.

Xinjiang Baked BunXinjiang baked buns are made primarily from lamb, green onions, and flour. The lamb and green onions are mixed with seasonings to form the filling. The dough is fermented, rolled into round wrappers, filled, sealed, and then baked in a pan until golden and crispy.
Spicy麻 ChickenSpicy麻 chicken is a dish made primarily with chicken and seasoned with Sichuan pepper, green onion, ginger, and other ingredients. The chicken is carefully prepared to ensure a tender texture, then drizzled with a specially crafted spicy麻 sauce, making the entire dish rich in numbing and fragrant flavors with a unique taste.

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.
