新疆羊肉蒸笼面 Xinjiang Lamb with Noodles Steamed in a Bamboo Basket

新疆羊肉蒸笼面 Xinjiang Lamb with Noodles Steamed in a Bamboo Basket AUD8.80

 

Tender grilled (ok, deep fried) lamb marinated with loads of 茴香 cumin and possibly onions on top off steamed noodles with a drizzle of 豆瓣酱 doubanjiang spicy-bean paste. Reminds me of the Xinjiang lamb skewers in China. Not as good as the real Xinjiang stuff, but getting there.

 

I also noticed that steamed noodles, while taking a little longer to cook, had a better chewy texture.

 

The bamboo basket was lined with bamboo leaves to stop any noodles falling though. Smart trick!
