Zhua Fan (Rice Eaten with Hands)
"Uyghur Rice" actually means "grabbed rice" because you can eat it with your hands. The main ingredients are rice cooked in mutton broth with spring onions, carrots and a piece of mutton (or beef, chicken or duck) placed on top of the rice. Sometimes, raisins or almonds are also added for extra flavor. This dish is actually quite rich, but its richness gives it an undeniably delicious flavor.
