But to say that the Hui Autonomous Region, the mysterious, exotic ethnic minority Gu Xixia! For most people who have not been to Ningxia, it will definitely arouse your expectations and expectations! Everyone wants to try an exotic ethnic style that is completely different from the Han people! In this magical land, Yinchuan, also known as "Saishang Jiangnan"; as the capital of Ningxia, it is the most worthy place to talk about and write. It is a jewel with a long history and culture, as well as a unique style of tourist attractions. In ancient times, there was the "Tomb of the King of Western Xia" by Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia; now there is the "Northwest Film and Television City" as the cradle of early Chinese films; Chinese films that have gone to the world from here, "Red Sorghum", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "The Old Man and the Dog", etc. ... ......

As a senior Shaanxi person who has been in Yinchuan for nearly 20 years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he knows Yinchuan better than he knows Shaanxi. As a minority settlement, the cuisine here also has its own unique exotic style and style, so today I will introduce the Yinchuan food list in my mind!
(1) Grab the lamb by hand
"Hand grabbing lamb", as the name suggests, is grasping the lamb eaten with your hands. One of the "Top Ten Classic Dishes of Ningxia", its meat is produced from Ningxia Salt Pond, also known as "Beach Sheep", Ningxia Beach Sheep, the meat is delicious, fragrant and not fat. It is said that the beach sheep here are all raised eating Chinese herbs and drinking mountain spring water. In order to maintain the best weight of 32-36 pounds, the sheep and sheep should adhere to scientific exercise every day. The meat made from the beach sheep has a strong taste, soft and tender taste, not greasy and not greasy, delicious taste, rich in nutrients and very delicious. It is the absolute first food in Yinchuan in my heart!
(2) Haggis soup
In autumn and winter, the weather is getting colder, and it is time to drink haggis soup. In the morning, a bowl of steaming haggis, accompanied by smooth and tender noodle lungs, chewy lamb intestines, lamb tripe, lamb leaves, mellow and delicious lamb liver lungs; sprinkled with a handful of spring coriander and green onions, to a spoonful of red and bright sheep oil peppers; and then with a crisp and fragrant sesame cake, a bite of haggis and a bite of cake, eat people refreshingly, hot sweat, that is, fill the stomach, but also warm the heart.
(3) Lamb cheek noodles
As one of the most representative noodles in Yinchuan, it is not ranked high in the country. But in the city of Yinchuan, the streets and alleys can be seen everywhere!

As a popular snack in the whole northwest, especially in Ningxia, it is more famous! It is simple to make and has a rich side dish. Its delicious, nutritious, tender meat cake, coupled with chewy, salty and spicy and other tastes are integrated, giving people a very rich feeling.

For the heavy taste of the northerners, the stewed chicken is one of the few light dishes that are not mainly salty and spicy. As one of the "top ten classic dishes in Ningxia", it is usually the whole chicken into the pot, with green onions, ginger, garlic, goji berries and salt as accessories, the chicken carefully simmered out of the chicken is soft and tender, the fragrance is unsatisfied, the soup water is sweet and oily; many diners prefer to stew the chicken, in addition to the excellent meat quality, but also because of the side dishes in the soup, gluten, vermicelli and can't stop, the fluffy texture of the gluten inhaled into the fat chicken soup, perfectly presented the fresh flavor of the chicken.
(7) Lamb meat
Introducing so many lamb-based delicacies, everyone may be a little tired, but as an ethnic minority Hui, of course, it is mainly beef and mutton! The most tender in the lamb is lamb meat, which is generally made by selecting sheep or sheep within the age of one year, and the methods are diverse, and you can choose stew or spicy. I personally like the spicy flavor, the stir-fried lamb, mixed with the aroma of peppers and other spices, makes people salivate; the sauce of the stew pot, but also let all the ingredients absorb the full soup; with a bowl of rice, sandwiched with a chopstick of lamb, spicy and fragrant, not greasy. It can also aphrodisiac, appetize and strengthen the spleen, and lamb meat is also rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, inorganic salts, calcium and iron and other nutrients. It's a rare piece of meat!

Those who have traveled to Ningxia should have tasted the "Big Fish Head of Shahu Lake"! This fish has a large head and a small body, and is a specialty of the local "big head fish".

Its flesh is delicate, tender, fresh but not fishy, tender but not scattered, fat but not greasy, the taste is very delicious; fish head soup taste, tender, fresh, fat, white, smooth, long aftertaste, fish head contains rich collagen, vitamins, etc., known as natural brain gold.

As the name suggests, it's a spicy snack. The dialect word "paste" refers to a paste-like food, a sauce made by stir-frying more than 10 kinds of local red peppers and tomatoes with cumin, pepper, sesame seeds, peanuts, cinnamon, etc., and even as many as 40 kinds of spices. Similar to oden, you can cook all kinds of skewers in a large pot filled with sauce. Paired with a spicy soup, it is a soft and spicy soup with a long aftertaste. Spicy is mild, can make the mouth have the sense to feel the unique taste of various ingredients and spices, people who like to eat spicy will definitely like him!

The cumbersome production process has created its unique taste, a piece of pure hand-pulled out of the noodles texture tendons, soup delicious, pleasant taste, tofu diced white color, fresh and attractive, chewing up very tough, excellent taste, the whole color and flavor are complete, the taste is really beautiful, the northwest flavor is full!
