10 BEST UYGHUR FOODS (AKA "WHAT SHOULD I EAT IN XINJIANG?")
From farwestchina.com
- Uyghur Polo / Pilaf. Known throughout Central Asia as “rice pilaf”, Uyghur polo is a tasty mix of rice, carrots and lamb meet slow cooked in oil. It is without a doubt that Uyghur polo is the most popular local dish in Xinjiang.
- Uyghur Laghman / Hui BanMian. The Uyghur and Hui have similar dishes here – Uyghur laghman and the Hui Banmian. The concept is simple: pulled noodles covered in a concoction of meat, vegetables and oil.
- Lamb Kebabs. A staple of the Uyghur diet, lamb kebabs will have you drooling over a kind of meat you never thought you’d love – lamb. It’s not just the meat, though; the Uyghur use a spice mixture of cumin and pepper that is amazing.
- Uyghur Bread. Again, this is something you’ll find all throughout Central Asia, yet the Uyghur people have done a wonderful job putting their own spin on the food.
- Uyghur Ice Cream. During the summer months, you might see mounds of ice cream being served from street carts in Xinjiang. This is affectionally referred to as “Uyghur Ice Cream“.
- Samsa | Kao Baozi. I once described Uyghur samsa as “a grilled Hot Pocket”. A mixture of lamb meat and onion is covered with breading and baked until crisp.
- DaPanJi / “Big Plate Chicken” A lot of people mistakenly think this is a Uyghur dish when in fact it is part of the Hui cuisine. The name directly translates to “Big Plate Chicken” and it’s a pretty good description: it’s an entire chicken, cut up and cooked with potatoes, onions and other vegetables and served on a big plate.
- Stuffed Lamb Intestine. This is a surprisingly good dish that’s worth a try. A rice and lamb meat mixture is stuffed into lamb intestine and served along with lamb lung.
- Uyghur Matang | Nut Snack. Uyghur matang is a nut snack (walnuts, almonds, etc.) usually sold on the streets by Uyghur vendors. It’s extremely chewy but easy to transport, so it makes for a fun snack on the bus or train.
- Xinjiang Fruits. Did you know that people in Xinjiang eat more fruit per capita than any other region in China? (check out other interesting Xinjiang facts) It’s true, and one of the reasons is that we have the best fruit.

- Pomegranates. Pomegranates are in season in the late summer and fall months. You’ll find them piled up outside markets and are sold by the kilo. One of my favorite fruits, I was delighted to find the beautiful dark red variety.
- Naan Flatbread. These flatbreads are on sale throughout the region by small bread makers. Best bought warm, straight from the naan oven, they are a breakfast staple.
- Leghman Noodles. The Xinjiang version of “lamian” is called leghman. Traditionally hand-pulled, they are first boiled and then topped with a stir-fry of different ingredients, depending on where you have them.
- Polu Rice Pilaf. Another very typical dish that you’ll find being sold often outside restaurants from an enormous wok-type dish is Xinjiang’s polu, or rice pilaf.
- Lamb and Mutton Skewers. Kawaplar is piled up on tables at every market. These skewers of mostly mutton meat and mutton fat are a staple in Xinjiang. Outside of the market, there will be a line of men selling grilled skewers from small stalls.
- Stewed Chicken. A stewed chicken dish with potatoes and green peppers is also quite common when eating in a Xinjiang-style restaurant. Be careful, the chicken meat will not have been de-boned.
- Raisins. Xinjiang is very famous for its bounty of fruit. It is the top producer of grapes and grape products, including raisins. You'll find all kinds of varieties in the markets and every market will have a whole section of sellers of dried raisins.
- Samsa Mutton Dumplings. One of the most delicious foods we came across in Xinjiang were street-side Samsa. Baked in an oven similar to a naan-oven, these dumplings had a delicious mutton and onion filling.
- Nuts and Dried fruits. Another thing you'll find in all the markets - as well as from street vendors selling them out of carts - is a variety of dried fruit and nuts.
