    Uyghur cuisine the really deserve your attention. If you hear about it for the first time, you need to try it asap. I grew up near to Moscow, and things like Lagman or Samsa, or just spices from central-Asian region so familiar, and usual enough just like orthodox Russian food. Just for analogy, Lagman it's a Ramen on steroids, with deep taste from flavor of original spices, yammy!

      I agree. The last time I've tried Uyghur food was two years ago when I was visiting Beijing in the summer. However, at that time, all I ate was some lamb kebabs, vegetables, 丁丁炒面、and some kind of meat that I had no idea what it was. I absolutely must try Uyghur food someday. I'm talking about 大盘鸡 (Although it's originally a Hui dish)、洋肉串、 抓饭、丁丁炒面、拉面、烤包子、and more.

      Bro, my Indian friend told me about how certain parts of their region have added Muslim cooking.
      It sounded super cool, because it’s like Fusion food, except hundreds if not a thousand years before the concept of “fusion” food was coined.
      Today I’ve just learned about Uyghur culture, and it definitely reminded me of the talk I’ve had with my friend.
      I wish we’d learn more about these kind of stories, this is super cool and inspiring how different cultures could do-exist together… definitely something we all could learn from!

    It's actually kinda sad that despite having a population of 30 million strong, it's almost negligible in the face of a country of 1.3 billion people, and given that they're mostly located in one state, they're literally sidelined by the rest of the Chinese population on the far east. They have a distinct & fascinating culture and I wish they could've a chance to express it more.

      Just say Uyghur or Uighur, then it is ok, it serves the purpose of being used as an adjective too; one's adding '-ian' and surfacing 'Uyghurian' provokes the unnecessary risk of redundancy and sounding eerie if not incorrect at all...therefore it is highly recommended that one could actually consider dropping it.

      It's because many regions of Chinese food are not recognized by Americans and therefore don't have any business opportunity. You won't find Hui halal food either, along with any Northeastern cuisine (essentially the "soul food" of China). Lu cuisine, the dominant cuisine in China, doesn't make much of an appearance either. Usually you hear about Sichuan, Cantonese, Shanghainese food, which are big cuisines but they are all in the south and thus rice-based. The lack of northern food is so serious that ramen-style dishes are very rarely thought of as Chinese, despite the dish having its origin and etymology from lamian. You wouldn't even know that "lanzhou lamian" is super ubiquitous across China. Hell, basic staples like mantou, baozi, bing and many kinds of noodles simply are absent in the US - so absent that I literally can't translate "bing" without it seeming really wrong (pancake, though it is similar to a highly layered wheat flour tortilla).
      The equivalent is as if Americans thought Italian food had only noodles - no pizza or rice. It's really bizarre.

      We need to get this comment to the top. People from the outside world cannot imaginge how it is to live as an Uyghur in China. These people cannot communicate freely, move through the country or even be economically self sustaining. There were even times when Uyghurs had to marry ethnic Han chinese just to make sure they would not make any more Uyghur children. This is one of the ways the CCP tries to assimilate the Uyghurs into mainstream chinese society. Also note that integration and assimilation are two different things. The first is done by the two sides, while the other is forced by one side upon the others.

    Uyghur people are like a mix of Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan...I mean their appearances, culture, clothes, food... It's so fascinating! 🤩
    But of course, you can see their Chinese physical traits as well as the food influence...

    Lots of Uyghurs don't consider them selves Chinese in the first place, they consider themselves a Turkic people which essence is actually true , sort of how Kashmiris in India and Pakistan don't consider themselves Indian or Pakistani but Kashmiri

    I haven't eaten Uyghur cuisine in a long time since I went to a Uyghur restaurant in Beijing two summers ago. I remember eating 丁丁炒面, 羊肉串, and some vegetables. After studying more about Uyghur cuisine (Plus one Hui dish: 大盘鸡), there's still a lot more that I want to eat someday. 😋

      He's still of turkic origin. He doesn't looks like an Arab first of all. His eyes, skin, form is completly different. He speaks like a typical turkic language from central Asia. Their cousine is very influenced by other kitchens but looks for me very "turkish" with the Börek like food, lamb etc.

    Thanks for covering this beautiful culture. Uyghurs are sadly being persecuted there and 2 millions of them have been forced into internment camps(1st of 21st century) where they are forced to eat pork and not pray

    • @sparkworks4401
      @sparkworks4401 6 лет назад +1

      And you cannot imagine how those Uyghurs treated the Han Chinese centuries ago. Either they assimilate and become harmonious with our society, or they must be corrected by the glorious CCP! The Ughurs themselves are not bad, but their beliefs are too dangerous and erratic and the country cannot afford any internal instability!

    • @theuglykwan
      @theuglykwan 6 лет назад +1

      If they are forced to eat the pork I think it is ok in terms of their religion.

      theuglykwan actually wrong.Those who are caught by police in suspicion of terroristic acts and preaching radical islam.They aren’t treated as muslims.In China the government does not care what religion you practice as long as you don’t force another religion on others or preach in public way.

    That was weird. Video starts, and I'm thinking 'wow! crazy deja vu, surely I've been there before!' and sure enough, my parents lived a short distance away back in the '80s. Don't recall the name of the original restaurant, but we ate there at least once during one of my infrequent visits.

    As an Indian muslim I can relate to all the Persian elements of food , because our food has also been influenced by Iranian flavours haha ; the samsa - we call it Samosa in India & the kabop - we call it Seekh Kebab , even the lagman stew seemed very Indian to me . Can definitely see Indians loving Uyghur food.

    This food looks like a combination of the cuisines of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China! I've been to Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. My wife is Kazakh and could understand and speak Kazakh with Uyghurs there. Uyghur language and Kazakh language, as well as food, are very similar. Lagman (why did this video spell it "lengmen" - that's weird) is super popular in Kazakhstan among Kazakh people!
