XINJIANG SPICE MIX
Traveling through China, you might stumble upon a person donning a white skull cap toting a BBQ grill sometimes by bicycle. He sells lamb kabobs spiced with irresistible goodness that it's hard to have just one. The person is from Western China, a predominantly Muslim region with cultures blended from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and others in the region. This spice mix is a great ingredient to have around for sautés, roasts, BBQ's or whatever else you feel like adding some Western China spice to. If you're in China, you can buy a packet in your grocery store.

XINJIANG LAMB SKEWERS
If you're looking for something a little different this BBQ season these lamb skewers are ideal - spicy, tender, smokey and incredibly tasty. This recipe is based roughly on the lamb skewers you find through central Asia and Xinjiang (northwest China). The secret ingredient is the Sichuan pepper, and if you want your skewers to stand out, it is key that you use it. These skewers are great on their own, but they also go wonderfully with a bit of salad and tzatziki in a pita.

Steps:
- Cut the lamb and the fat into roughly inch big cubes.
- Make the marinade by putting the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and spices into a bowl and mixing until even. Put the meat and fat in the marinade and mix until thoroughly coated, then cover, put the bowl in the fridge and leave for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you think ahead).
- Skewer the meat, roughly 2 pieces of lean meat to one piece of fat (you don't have to eat the fat but do keep it on whilst cooking, as it helps keep the meat nice and tender). Pack it quite tightly so that the fat and meat are up against each other, as in the picture above.
- Cook on the BBQ until you feel it's ready to eat. I prefer it so the fat is nice and crispy, but just cook it to your own preference. If you made the spice sprinkle then add it occasionally on the top of the skewers as they cook.

Steps:
- Take your chops and simply remove the meat from the bone and cut into small chunks. Don't trim any of the fat from the lamb. This is what's going to give you the flavor you're looking for. Put the lamb in a mixing bowl.
- In a mortar and pestle (or spice grinder), add the cumin, cumin seeds, chili flakes, and salt. Pound it all together, cracking the chili flakes and cumin seeds into smaller pieces (you want it to be coarse, not a fine powder). Add about half of the spices (the other half will be used for sprinkling after the lamb finishes cooking) to the lamb along with the oil and mix everything together.
- Put the lamb onto the skewers. Heat your grill until searing hot. Grill the skewers until they get a nice char on the outside. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle on the extra spices. Serve!

- Thread lamb cubes closely onto skewers, alternating between lean meat and fat cubes (*see footnote 2).
- Spread onion inside a 1-gallon ziploc bag. Place lamb skewers on top of the onion. Pour the marinade over the lamb. Massage the bag so the lamb is covered evenly with the marinade.

- Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a bowl and add spices, salt, sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine. Use your hands to combine everything together. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook, take the chicken out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Add the cornstarch and flour to the chicken and use your hands to mix everything together evenly.
- Prepare your yogurt sauce by simply combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. Heat your oil in a small pot or cast iron skillet until it reaches 350 degrees. Fry the chicken in two or three batches for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon the size of your drumsticks. If you’re unsure about the doneness, poke a skewer into the thickest part of the drumstick to check if the juices run clear. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels.

Reviews 12Published 2008-09-25
- Laghman (lamian in Chinese) Noodle wallahs artistically work dough balls of high-quality wheat flour and water into continuously thinner ropes until something like spaghetti emerges.
- Suoman gush siz. A pile of laghman noodles smothered in peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, green beans and spices. A dependable vegetarian Xinjiang dish.
- Nokot. A light chickpea-based salad served with shredded carrots, a tangy vinegar dressing and topped with piles of fresh herbs. A highlight of the Kashgar night market.
- Serik ash. Bright yellow, handmade noodles rolled into rounds and cut into wide strips for cold noodle soups and noodle salads. You'll often find them served with a combination of tangy vinegar and chili sauces and – of course – beautiful fresh herbs.
- Green and herb dumplings. Chopped greens, herbs and a touch of mutton tucked into a dough ball which is cooked on a flat skillet. Slightly crunchy on the top and bottom, soft everywhere else.
- Kawa manta (manti) Pumpkin-stuffed Turkish style steamed dumplings. Great with thick plain yogurt and roasted red pepper sauce. Intizar Restaurant cranks them out all day long.
- Girde nan (a.k.a the Uighur bagel) The first time we witnessed girde nan being plucked from the inside of a large ceramic oven (think Indian tandoor), we wondered, “Bagels!
- Nan: Large, round flat breads cooked in ceramic ovens (similar Indian tandoors). Just like in Central Asia.
- Pomegranate juice. Stands selling fresh, delicious, cleansing pomegranate juice line the edge of Kashgar’s night market. Vendors sell shot-sized glasses for 1-2Y ($0.15-$0.30).
- Mantang: Pressed nougat featuring combinations of fresh honey, nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios) and raisins. The equivalent of a natural power bar.
5 XINJIANG FOODS YOU NEED TO TRY - CHINOSITY
From chinosity.com
- Lamb Kebabs, 羊肉串. These juicy, delectable skewers of grilled meat will leave your mouth drooling and your stomach growling. The smokey spice blend of cumin and pepper perfectly compliments the fatty and tender lamb.
- Laghman (Hand-Pulled Noodles), 拌面. These hand-pulled noodles are a staple of Uyghur Cuisine. Different from the Chinese style of making noodles, where the dough is continuously folded, Laghman noodles are rolled out in one hand and pulled with the other.
- Kao Bao Zi (Tandoori-baked Lamb Buns), 烤包子. In comparison to traditional steamed Chinese Bao Zi, these Xinjiang buns are filled to the brim with tender and juicy lamb meat and placed inside a Tandoori oven to give the skin a thin and crispy texture.
- Da Pan Ji (Big Plate Chicken), 大盘鸡. Da Pan Ji, or Big Plate Chicken, is a large chicken stew that is extremely popular in the Xinjiang Region. Usually served at large gatherings, the dish is stacked to the brim with all different parts of the chicken and covered in a spicy red sauce containing bell peppers, potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and more.
- Uyghur Polo (Pilaf), 抓饭. Uyghur Polo, commonly known as Pilaf throughout the rest of the world, is a rice dish cooked in oil and broth and tossed with carrots and lamb chunks.
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.
