羊肉泡饃

01. Flatbread in mutton soup (yangrou paomo) – Yangrou paomo is the mosticonic [標志性的] dish in the Xi’an foodscape. The ritual [例行公事] before eating a paomo – tearing the bread into small pieces yourself before letting the chef turn it into a stew [燉的食物] – is as enjoyable as the dish itself.

酸湯水餃

05. Hot and sour soup dumpling (suantang shuijiao) – Who can resist a bowl of dumplings swimming in hot and sour soup with sesame seeds [芝麻], minced leek [蔥花] and cilantro [香菜]? Suantang shuijiao is flavorful and refreshing with a lingering (and pleasant) aftertaste [回味無窮].
