Mutton Kebabs 烤羊肉串

You can find these everywhere, and are loved by foreigners and locals. Though they can be found all over, the best, most authentic kebabs are found in Xinjiang. Good chuan’r can be found for 0.5 to 2 RMB, cooked freshly to order over an outdoor “chuan’r beque”.

Sanzi (Deep-Fried Dough Twists) 散子
Sanzi is a traditional Uygur snack made of wheat flour dough. It is stretched into thin noodles and deep fried.

Ququ (Boiled Dumplings) 曲曲
Similar to the Chinese wonton, the Ququ is a boiled dumpling stuffed with meat and vegetables, but tasting decidedly Xinjiang, thanks to the spices of the region that are liberally added.

Kaobaozi (Baked dumplings)烤包子
Unlike the regular thick-skinned dumplings of China, these are not steamed, but grilled or roasted in an oven with sweet onion and lamb.

Fantang 饭汤
Tomato soup with mutton and noodle pieces. It is hearty and delicious.

Yoghourt (Suan Nai Zi) 酸奶子
Fresh yoghourt is very popular in Xinjiang, and is frequently used in cooking.

Wu Yue Hua
Uygur rice and yoghourt are good, and you can enjoy cultural dance and song performances.
