Because my husband and I are from a far apart place where the north and the south combine, since we got married, to be honest, we have learned a lot from him, especially in terms of food, which has changed a lot and become healthy and diverse. <br />He also gave me this chicken pilaf, because he is from Xinjiang, and I don't like the mutton smell very much, so I changed Xinjiang's mutton pilaf to chicken pilaf. Hehe, I added some favorite ingredients to it, and it became today's pilaf.

Pilaf is a standard Xinjiang cuisine. Pork pilaf is a very nutritious food. Mutton, onions, carrots and rice are all supplements containing multiple vitamins. In particular, carrots are called small ginseng and are very nutritious. Rice made with such raw materials is of course nutritious. <br />There is also a touching legend about pilaf. Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, there was a man named Abu Airi. Dr. Ibisina, in his later years, was very weak and took a lot of medicines to no avail. Later, he studied a rice and used a diet therapy. He chose mutton, carrots, onions, clear oil, sheep oil and rice with water and salt, and then braised them over low heat. This kind of rice has the characteristics of color, taste and aroma, and can arouse people's appetite. So he ate a small bowl in the morning and evening. Half a month later, his body gradually returned to health. People around him were very surprised and thought that he had eaten some panacea. Later, he passed on this "prescription" to everyone, and it became the common practice among Uyghurs today.

Friends come home as guests, bring children to see vendors outside the community shouting to sell mutton kebabs must eat, my friend said it is not hygienic, but how to coax all can not, the child crying must eat, friends quickly call me out of the rescue, hehe! I told the children that there was good mutton at home, and uncle roasted it better than theirs. Finally, the children were happy! <br />Since he had promised to fulfill his promise, he took out a small piece of mutton from the freezer to thaw, marinate, and bake it. The small basin friend eats may be beautiful, my friend and I also touch the light, hehe!
