Lamb Sliders

Lamb Sliders

　　When it comes to the XuZhou Summer Sheep Festival, few in the food and beverage industry haven’t heard of it. XuZhou lamb is famous nationwide, and among the various dishes served during the festival, Lamb Sliders are truly unforgettable once you try them. The milky-white lamb soup floats with crystal-clear sliders; gently blow on the emerald-green coriander on the surface of the soup and the bright red chili oil. Take a small sip of the piping hot lamb bone broth — the aroma is overwhelming and fills your mouth with flavor. Spoon up a piece of slider, pop it into your mouth, and you’ll find it incredibly smooth and tender — an absolutely delightful experience. There are three key points to making great sliders: 1) Use white sweet potato starch ground at rural mills, 2) The spice mix should be homemade, known in rural areas as the ‘Eight Major Flavors’—though thirteen-spice mix can be used as a substitute, 3) Use only pure, small-ground sesame oil.
