Hand-picked Lamb
Made with premium lamb, slow-cooked in clear water to preserve its authentic, natural flavor.
Hand-grabbed mutton is a traditional delicacy of the Kazakh, Uyghur, and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and it represents the highest honor for hosting guests. Made with fresh lamb boiled in plain water without heavy seasoning to preserve its natural flavor, it is eaten by hand and dipped in salt or minced garlic. The meat is tender, non-gamey, and melts in your mouth. The key to this dish lies in ingredient selection: lamb raised freely in Xinjiang offers superior quality with minimal gamey taste and a delicate texture. Though simple in appearance, this dish reflects Xinjiang people's pursuit of pure ingredients and their sincerity toward guests.
