Uyghur cuisine (Uyghur: ئۇيغۇر تائاملىرى, romanized: uyghur taamliri, уйғур таамлири; Chinese: 維吾爾菜; pinyin: wéiwú'ěr cài) is the cuisine of the Uyghur people, which are mainly situated in the autonomous region of Xinjiang.
The cuisine is characterized by ingredients like roasted mutton and beef, as well as kebab and rice dishes. Traditionally, specific dishes like polo are eaten with one's bare hands instead of with utensils like spoons, forks or chopsticks.[1] Signature dishes include polo, läghmän and nan. Because the majority of Uyghur people are Muslim, the food is predominantly halal.
