| The
staple food of Gansu, as with most of western China
outside of Tibet, is often Muslim influenced, so
that meat dishes are generally of mutton and beef,
rather than pork and chicken, varieties. This situation
is none better seen than in Lanzhou, where Muslim
restaurants and food stalls are to be found on nearly
every street. The most common of these dishes would
have to be the cheap and easy to make Beef Noodle,
and restaurants (Lanzhou lamian guan) serving this
soupy delight are plentiful. Also popular, especially
for breakfast is the slightly sweet Beef-Stuffed
Cake that is a favoured breakfast dish. A slightly
more interesting, and hearty, Muslim delight is
the Roast Whole Lamb. |
