Lamian Noodles
Lamian Noodles
Uigur Rice
The name 'Lamian' means 'pulled noodles'.
The noodle dough is pulled in a special way to create thinner and thinner strings of dough, and finally, noodles! Then the noodles are boiled quickly and various ingredients are added, including oil, mutton pieces, cooked tomato and chili peppers.
Sometimes the noodles are stir-fried along with these ingredients, which can only be described as a totally different, yet equally delicious taste.
Uigur Rice
We call this dish 'Uigur Rice', but it's name in Chinese is Zhuafan. In English, this actually means 'grabbed rice' for the fact that you can eat it with your hands.
The main ingredients are rice cooked in mutton broth with spring onion, carrot, and a piece of mutton (or beef, chicken, duck meat instead) placed on top of the rice. Sometimes, raisins or almonds are also added for a little extra flavor.
This dish is actually quite rich, but it's richness gives it an undeniably delicious flavor. This rice will not only fill you up, it'll give you lots of energy and leave a delicious aftertaste in your mouth.
