For vegetables, the fresher the better, the best is to pick fresh and freshly made. However, there is a dish that people have to cover until it is yellow, and its taste is also lighter than that of leeks, which is leeks, which are locked in a dark urn when they are grown, and photosynthesis is forcibly stopped. Next, the chlorophyll of the leek gradually faded and became a "yellow-faced woman", so that the leek was produced.
Xi'an people like to stir together with leeks and beef, dumplings, pot stickers, cooking boxes, etc., all of which are incomparably fragrant. This classic combination does not know when it was discovered occasionally, anyway, it has been dominating the halal dumpling restaurant for decades, and it is also deeply loved by Xi'an people.
The first time I ate sour soup beef leek dumplings was at a halal dumpling restaurant on Park South Road. In the sour soup, there are shrimp skin sesame coriander minced, and a little sesame oil flower seeds and chili oil. Only drink a mouthful of sour soup, sour and spicy aroma into the stomach, suddenly appetite, clip a dumpling, the skin is broken, let the sour soup invade the dumpling filling, fished out to eat, then the umami taste of leeks is the first to come out, and then the aroma of beef also emerges, the taste of leeks is extremely tender and the strength of beef mixed together, it is a perfect match.
Later, I tasted the beef leek stuffed pot sticker of Hairong Pot Sticker, which is their signature pot sticker, and was also selected as "Xi'an Famous Food". The blend of flavors is lighter, reducing the proportion of hemp in halal dumplings, and highlighting the tender qualities, even if it is not dipped in juice, it can make people eat until they are full.
This beef leek is not only delicious, but also has a high nutritional value, which is a magic weapon for health maintenance. Needless to say, beef is rich in protein, while leeks contain a lot of crude fiber, which helps the intestines digest. Leeks contain a lot of calcium, which is beneficial to strengthen bones and teeth and prevent calcium deficiency. Leeks also contain special ingredients of volatile essential oils and sulfides, and the special aroma emitted has the effect of enhancing appetite and enhancing digestion. Compared with leeks, its taste is softer and less top-notch, which is one of the reasons why people prefer leeks.
Having said all that, here are a few delicious restaurants to recommend to you, and you can try them if you have the opportunity.

This shop has been open in the Big Leather Courtyard for more than a decade, and it is no exaggeration to say that nearby residents eat one a day. Every day at 5 o'clock, the stall is out. There are 4 flavors of the pie, leek, sauerkraut, fennel and leek. Each filling will put a little beef in it, I have tasted all four, or this leek is delicious.
The taste of the filling is not heavy, but it can reveal the aroma of the meat and the freshness of the dish.
