Basic introduction of historical origin

First, it has something to do with religious belief. Most residents in the northwest believe in Islam, and there are many Muslims, but they don't eat pork. Therefore, beef and mutton are eaten too much, and beef and mutton are the best ingredients for tonic.

Second, the local mountains and grasslands. There are many cattle and sheep raised locally, which has a great relationship with the local climate and living habits, but there are fewer pigs, so the output of cattle and sheep is more convenient to eat. The vast northwest is full of cattle and sheep. The biggest feature of northwest beef and mutton is that the meat is tender and has no smell. Northwest China has the characteristics of less environmental pollution, large temperature difference between day and night, excellent water quality and forage quality, and scattered cattle and sheep, which ensures the difference of meat quality.

Both of them have the effects of warming stomach and strengthening yang, and are especially suitable for tonic in cold winter.

Third, the relationship with the eating habits of northwest people. It is not uncommon for a person to eat one or two kilograms of meat at a time in the northwest. In the cooking process, in addition to special eating methods such as roast mutton and roast whole sheep, northwest beef and mutton are mainly stewed and brushed in hot pot, which can ensure the original flavor of meat as much as possible and reduce the loss of nutrients. It's cold and it's snowing heavily outside the tent. It is very pleasant for a family to brush beef and mutton around the hot pot. Radish or potato is the best side dish, because these two ingredients are light in taste, which can relieve boredom without affecting the original flavor of meat. Radish also has the functions of promoting digestion, resolving phlegm and relieving asthma, clearing heat and smoothing qi, reducing swelling and removing blood stasis, so there is a saying that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe.
