Chinese Kebabs Draw Foreigners

After a boring day at the office,one of the most enjoyable things to do is head out to a Chinese kebab(烤肉串) restaurant with friends to enjoy several skewers(扦子) of the roasted meat known as chuan in Chinese.Throw in the bonus of a cold beer on a hot day and it’s easy to understand why these dishes are particularly popular① in the summer.

This spicy(辛辣的) roasted meat combined② with a freshly brewed beverage(酿造饮料) creates a pleasant chill that contrasts with the outside high temperature.Foreigners who live in China for a while often frequent③ Chinese kebab restaurants.So what do they think about Chinese kebabs and what brought them there?

“Honestly,I didn’t like it when I first tasted it because our tastes are different from Chinese.But now I am used to it.Now it’s okay.I like it very much,”Ali,a 26-year-old student from India,told the Global Times.

Having fallen in love with the special flavour,Ali goes to the Muslim Canteen on the campus of the Beijing Language and Culture University three to five times a week with his friends to enjoy some real Xinjiang kebabs.?

Zhang Dagang,a veteran Chinese kebab industry insider,told the Global Times that Xinjiang kebabs are especially fresh,authentic and wild.A special technique④ is used to season the meat before skewering.Eggs,onions,cumin powder and pepper powder are the secret ingredients that ensure the kebabs are tender and fresh and are not overpowered by the natural strong flavours of mutton or beef.

Although most Chinese kebabs are spicy,that is too simple of a description⑤ to capture the various flavours that exist across different regions of the country.Zhang pointed out that kebabs in Northeast China are less spicy than those found in the southern parts of China,while Beijing kebabs tend to be salty.
