Uyghur Cuisine

Uyghur cuisine is a fusion of middle eastern and central Chinese cuisine, a result of xinjiang's situation along the silk road. Many dishes use lamb and are typically heavily spiced. Typical spices include cumin, hot pepper, sichuan peppercorns, ginger and garlic. Well-known dishes include langman noodles, as well as mutton pilaf.
