They are super thick and have a nice, chewy texture. texture that you are sure to enjoy. They are pulled slowly and hit hard to loosen the dough. And here, you choose the ingredients and they are fried in a delicious sauce that is poured on top of your freshly pulled noodles.

They will blow Super simple, but so filling and delicious. So our noodles just arrived. Taken by hand. And this is the sauce they've been frying. And they are going to pour it on top of the noodles. That is pure beauty. We just received the banmian Oh look at these beautiful handmade noodles with lamb, tomato and green peppers. Oh guys, that will fill you up. Let's take a big sip. Oh yeah. They are quite simple. Just a slight tomato flavor. And actually a little smoky. But the lamb flavor is everywhere. That's the best part. Oh yes, that mild tomato flavor will bring you life.

You come here in August and you'll get super plump, juicy grapes. It's April now, so it's not the season. But I must say that you come here at any time of the year, especially now in April. out of season It's super fun and I'm impressed by this city Our taxi is right there And we're taking it to go eat delicious meat for dinner We're heading out to get some meat And we actually found the jackpot Lamb heaven So We've been walking around exploring And we got a tip from the local taxi driver to come eat here To eat a lot of meat Because meat is famous in Xinjiang It's hard to get it That's a skill We're going to have a nice big plate of this But I'm really bad at This What we stumbled upon was a real meat jackpot.

There were these huge juicy, big, fat lamb kebabs covered in salt, cumin and garlic and pressed directly into these grilled nang buns So the juices would seep out. But the real prize was this huge oven full of lamb legs Ribs and steaks All lightly seasoned with salt 10 minutes before they were ready to come out of the oven People started gathering and competing to try it first Look at that That's it This is beautiful! Oh, look at that! This is meat heaven! Beautiful meat!

Lamb's paradise. It is a sanctuary of the lamb. And then here I have 5 beautiful lamb kebabs on top of the naan bread, which is also seasoned with chillies and cumin.

And the lamb juices are soaked in that bread. I have a mixed bread. lamb organ It is called yangzasui, so there is the fat, the lung and the liver. I actually don't know everything that's in there And there's stuffed intestine Intestine stuffed with rice I think it's going to be good We'll see And then we're done Here we have mianpian tang, which is those pinched slices of noodles in a nice, hearty, healthy broth.
