Xinjiang cuisine (Chinese: 新疆菜; pinyin: Xīnjiāng Cài) reflects the cooking styles of many ethnic groups of the Xinjiang region and refers particularly to Uyghur cuisine (Uyghur: ئۇيغۇر تائاملىرى‎, ULY: Uyghur Taamliri, USY: Уйғур Таамлири ; Chinese: 維吾爾菜; pinyin: Wéiwú'ěr Cài). Signature ingredients include roasted mutton, kebabs, roasted fish and rice.[1] Because of the Muslim population, the food is predominantly halal.
