　　A traditional delicacy of Alxa. It uses tender lamb from Alxa sheep, diced into small cubes, then seasoned with a small amount of soy sauce and spices. Egg yolk, starch powder, and wheat flour are added, mixed thoroughly, and then the meat is deep-fried until golden brown. The fried meat is placed in a bowl, covered with meat broth, and flavored with soy sauce, scallion segments, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise. It is steamed for about 20 minutes, then turned out onto a serving plate. The broth is strained into a pot, MSG is added, and the sauce is poured over the lamb.
