Particularly noteworthy is their rich barbecue culture, which has become a signature of Xinjiang cuisine. With a long-standing tradition, Lop Nur people continue to use their unique methods, skewering lamb and fish on red willow branches and grilling them over the ancient, enduring charcoal of Populus euphratica wood. The result is a dish with a golden hue, a rich aroma, and a lingering taste that delights the senses.
