This is the first article I have read that describes Xinjiang food. It is so well written and vivid!
As you describe it, my mouth is watering. I have also eaten Xinjiang food many times, such as mutton skewers, naan, hand-pulled mutton, hand-pulled rice, etc. The hand-picked rice I ate was not as authentic as you described. The large plate of chicken I ate, except for a few wide strips of ramen noodles mixed around the plate, tasted not much different from what I had when I came back from the mainland. There was no bright red sauce, nor was it sweet and sour, but I know that what you described should be the most authentic. Because in Xinjiang, tomato sauce is used so frequently that it stuns mainlanders. Perhaps this is also affected by local climate characteristics and eating habits. The other foods mentioned in your text are similar to what you describe.
I like and enjoy the delicious food very much, but I don't have the skills like you to express the vision, smell and taste I feel so well and vividly.
I admire you, envy you, and most of all, thank you. Thank you for letting me taste the delicious food of Xinjiang again in my eyes and in my heart thousands of miles away.
