Xinjiang-style Lamb Skewers
Xinjiang-style lamb skewers are a popular street food in China, particularly in the northwestern region of Xinjiang. The skewers are made from tender chunks of lamb meat, marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices including cumin, chili powder, and Szechuan peppercorns. The skewers are usually cooked over an open flame, resulting in juicy, smoky, and slightly charred meat that is both aromatic and delicious. This dish can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or main course, and is often served with flatbread and a variety of dipping sauces.
