Xinjiang pilaf

Xinjiang pilaf

Overview

What Xinjiang pilaf pursues is the original flavor. The lamb does not need any seasoning, only a handful of salt, and it has absolutely no smell as mainland friends say. The pilaf does not require soy sauce, MSG, or any other superfluous seasonings. I really can’t stand the weird versions of the so-called authentic Xinjiang pilaf on the Internet. I will share it here. It cannot be said to be absolutely authentic, but most people in Xinjiang do it this way

  5. Spread the rice flatly on top of the fried carrots and meat. Because the rice has been soaked in advance, the amount of water just needs to cover the rice. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for half an hour. It's basically OK!
