Grilled buns - Taste of Xinjiang

Grilled buns (called Shamusa in Uyghur) and thin-skin buns (called Pitmantu in Uyghur) are favorite foods of Uyghur compatriots. Every morning, Uighur compatriots receive a bowl of milk tea and two baked buns as a nutritious breakfast. The Han people also eat the same way, but they go to the Uighur compatriots' baked bun shop and pack two baked buns, which is what the Han people often say. If you want to ask for mutton grilled buns, you must be an outsider who doesn’t understand the customs of Xinjiang. Xinjiang grilled buns are originally made of mutton. The method is relatively simple, it is fresh lamb, it must be half lamb hind legs and half mutton fat, so that it tastes particularly delicious. The onions used (called Piyazi by Xinjiang people) must be white and cut into small cubes, so the mutton must also be cut into small cubes. When you take a bite of the baked buns like this, the fillings are fresh and tender, the oil is flowing, and they look shiny. This is the characteristic of Xinjiang food. It is oily (many outsiders say Xinjiang food is too greasy. In fact, this is related to the region and climate of Xinjiang) rather than dry. Such baked buns taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. For the delicious taste of Xinjiang mutton, you don’t need to add a lot of seasonings, just use pepper and cumin powder. If you add other seasonings, it won’t taste like Xinjiang. The shape of baked buns has been the same shape since ancient times, that is, square. Authentic baked buns are all baked in a naan pit. Now that you have an oven, you can make them at home, but the method is the same. The only difference is that they are baked in an oven. Of course, the taste is also different. The taste baked in a naan pit is particularly fragrant and natural. No matter how you bake it in the oven, it can't produce that flavor. I usually bake them in the oven at home and brush them with egg wash. In fact, the real baked buns are not brushed with egg wash when baked in the Nang pit. This is for the sake of appearance, and I also want to bake the kind of Nang pit. No matter how I bake it, I can’t bake the taste of the Nang pit. Therefore, many specialties in Xinjiang cannot be imitated, unless you have never tasted Xinjiang specialties and have been deceived. These two kinds of food are mostly sold in restaurants, food stalls, and streets in bazaars in urban and rural areas in Xinjiang. They are like Beijing meat-stuffed biscuits and Tianjin's Goubuli steamed buns, which are very popular with customers. Interestingly, when the thin-skin buns are steamed and taken out of the steamer or the baked buns are taken out of the naan pit, the chef often raises his voice and shouts: Ibrayin. Alex Lamu Baozi...it is said that this is Ibrahim. Alex Lamu was a famous chef hundreds of years ago. His baked buns and thin-skin buns were really famous in the Western Regions. So later generations used his name as a brand to attract customers.

Cumin mutton

[Cumin Mutton] Mutton that is neither oily nor greasy. The classic cumin mutton is fried and seasoned. It tastes dry, chewy and has an endless aftertaste. Today I’m going to make it in a different way, instead of frying it directly with oil, but still using cumin as the main seasoning and adding coriander. It’s also great and suitable for this drier autumn.

Haggis Casserole

Haggis is the general name for sheep offal. Although its nutritional value is not as good as mutton, it is also very popular because of its unique taste and low output. Among them, sheep liver has higher nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin A. Regular consumption can improve eyesight. Because I live close to the Muslim area, I can always buy these haggis. Occasionally, I buy some and reprocess it, which also has a different flavor.

After cooling, the cut texture is already amazing, isn't it?

【Deciphering the delicious taste on the tip of the tongue】# meet#--Large Plate Chicken

Big plate chicken is a famous dish in Xinjiang, and it is a must-order dish for many friends when they go to Xinjiang restaurants. Big plate chicken is a halal snack of the Hui people. It was once a delicacy specially prepared for the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Later, the old chefs who left the palace brought the recipe to the society, and it became popular in the past 17 or 18 years. The origin of Dapanji has a lot to do with long-distance truck drivers. It is said that the predecessor of Dapanji is spicy chicken. At the driver's suggestion, soup and noodles were added. The drivers ate the soup, meat and noodles. It was delicious and filling. Since the chicken had to be served on a large plate, Dapanji became famous. This large-plate chicken dish is actually the most common way to make it. It is very similar to the potato stewed chicken nuggets in the north. The only difference is that Xinjiang belt noodles are added to the chicken at the end. If you make it at home, you can omit the belt noodles step, or you can replace the belt noodles with noodles. It is equally delicious!

[Fresh fish and mutton stewed in a casserole]---You also need to replenish your food during the winter solstice

Today is the winter solstice, and I expected to make a glutinous rice dumpling. But time is too short to make it. The day goes by too fast, but today I also made a fish and mutton dish. You can't make hot pot without an induction cooker. If possible, you can use fresh fish and mutton to make hot pot. It tastes really good. I went to buy mutton two days ago and it was only 42. Today, the price has increased to 45. It feels a bit like taking advantage of the opportunity to kill a pig. There are quite a few people buying mutton today. Some people don’t know how to cook yet, so they ask the boss for advice. However, the boss always asks people to bring some ingredients to stew. If it is not handled properly, I think the mutton smell is too strong and unpalatable. It took me at least 5 times to get rid of the mutton smell, and my husband said that the more I cook it, the better it tastes. However, the taste of this fish and mutton dish is indeed very good. It is very delicious. My son didn’t protest when I poured its soup into the rice. The little girl likes to eat meat but not much like to drink the soup.

Braised beef

My mother bought home a large piece of beef, which happened to be beef shank, so she thought about making braised beef. After all, my father was already very greedy after eating vegetables with us every day. This dish is not troublesome to make, but there are too many spices and it is a bit time-consuming. However, the taste is not bad, and the remaining soup can be used as soup or noodles. It is very convenient to use and you can cook without having to use your brain for several days, haha (^^)
