The lagman at Cafe Kashkar, one of the city’s few Uyghur restaurants, is a great introduction to the cuisine of this Muslim community from the Northwest Chinese province of Xinjiang. Thick, chewy noodles doused in cumin and chile are stir-fried with bits of onion, bell pepper, long beans, cilantro and tender lamb, then topped with a fluffy scrambled egg. Mix it all together with chopsticks and dig into this spicy, complex comfort food.
