Xinjiang Banmian
Also known as "Latiaozi," one of Xinjiang's most iconic hand-pulled noodles, chewy and smooth.
Xinjiang Banmian, also known as Latiaozi, is one of the most common staple foods in the daily diet of people from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. The dough is kneaded and rested repeatedly, then hand-pulled into uniformly thick noodles that are chewy, smooth, and elastic. Popular toppings include Guoyou Rou (meat stir-fry), Wild Mushroom, and Leek Banmian. Guoyou Rou Banmian is the classic choice: thinly sliced lamb is flash-fried with green peppers, tomatoes, and onions, then tossed over the noodles for a vibrant dish with rich, savory flavors.
