Muslim Cuisine

In most major cities in China, there are small Islamic restaurants typically run by migrants from Western China which offer inexpensive noodle soup. These restaurants are typically decorated with Islamic motifs such as pictures of Islamic rugs and Arabic writing. Typical and popular dishes include:

- Lamian (拉面; lāmiàn) is a Chinese dish of hand-made noodles, usually served in a beef or mutton-flavored soup but sometimes stir-fried and served with a tomato-based sauce.
- Chuanr (串儿 chuànr "kebab"), originating in Xinjiang province of China and in recent years has been disseminated throughout the rest of that country, most notably in Beijing. Yang rou chuan, or lamb kebabs, is particularly popular.
- Nang 馕 - A type of round unleavened bread, topped with sesame - similar to South and Central Asia naan.
