Sunit Lamb Skewers

　　Lamb skewers can be said to be a popular snack nationwide and are favored by many people. Lamb skewers are a traditional snack from Inner Mongolia. The method involves slicing lamb and lamb fat into thin pieces, threading them alternately on small metal skewers, and roasting them on a long barbecue grill. Then, sprinkle some chili powder, fine salt, and cumin powder, and they are ready in just a few minutes. They have a golden, shiny, oily appearance, a mildly spicy flavor, and are neither greasy nor gamey—tender and delicious.

In Inner Mongolia, you can find lamb skewers everywhere. Nowadays, restaurants have introduced many innovations in making lamb skewers. In addition to the regular ones, there are also bamboo skewer lamb skewers, net oil lamb skewers, and some are even deep-fried—the ingredients are mostly the same. Some skewers are coated with a batter made of egg white and starch before grilling, which makes the lamb even more tender and juicy.
