Speaking of food culture, there are many types of Chinese cuisine, which can be called the world's largest. Don't say that foreign friends are stunned when they see it, even we ourselves may not know it all. Recently, I will take you to understand the preparation methods of local special foods. First of all, let's start with Xinjiang's bread, some friends may say, this cake is very common, some inland Xinjiang restaurants can eat, in fact, there are many kinds of bread, different production methods, the taste is not the same, and want to eat its essence, of course, to stick to Xinjiang's unique brick tea brewed tea to eat.
The word "馕" originated in Persian and is popular in the Arabian Peninsula, Turkey, and the countries of Central Asia Minor. The Uyghurs originally called the bread "Ahmak", but it was not until Islam was introduced to Xinjiang that it was renamed "Naan". There are about fifty kinds of xinjiang bread, the more popular are meat buns, oil buns, nest buns, sesame buns, slices of buns, Hillman buns, etc., and the most common and traditional is the grilled buns, which are characterized by large and thin, charred and crispy, suitable for everyone to share food when gathering. Earlier, the Uyghurs were specially made baking pits, used to bake bread, slowly this cuisine was loved by foreign tourists, so it formed a number of chain brand stores, more famous for Abra's bread and Mijiti bread, friends who have the opportunity to go can buy some to taste it to see what is different from what they eat at home.
After talking for half a day, I finally had to talk about the method of making bread. In fact, the modern production process of Xinjiang bread is somewhat similar to the production method of some burnt cakes in our mainland. First of all, add a little salt water and yeast to the flour (or refined flour), then mix well, knead thoroughly, wake up, and bake. Adding some mutton fat to the preparation is the oil bun; adding diced lamb, cumin powder, pepper, minced onion and other condiments to mix the filling is roasted as a meat bun; the sesame seeds are mixed with grape juice and roasted is called sesame buns. After making the bread, put it in a preheated oven at home at 220 degrees Celsius and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. Different breads vary in the composition of noodles and additives, the shape of the bread, the baking method, etc., and the names of the bread are correspondingly different. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, when Master Xuanzang took the passage through the desert Gobi, the food he brought with him was the bun, because it was convenient to preserve and bring enough satiety, which was an essential dry food for hiking tourism.
