🥣 Who knows, my family! I was cold and hungry after exploring the poplar forests in Ejina, and I stumbled upon "Xiao He Yang Zao Restaurant," where locals were lining up. My anticipation for Northwest cuisine skyrocketed! 🐏 First, let's talk about this bowl of mutton offal. It was definitely my top choice of the trip! The broth was still bubbling when it arrived, and the milky white broth was drizzled with oil. Just the smell of that freshness made my mouth water. The owner said they brew the mutton bone broth fresh every morning, so it's no wonder it doesn't have a tangy flavor, but rather has that uniquely rich mutton broth. 🥩 The mutton offal was incredibly generous, with evenly sliced lung, tripe, and liver slices. They were soft and chewy, and they didn't get stuck in my teeth. I added some local chili peppers and pepper, and every sip of the soup and offal warmed me up instantly. I licked every last drop of broth and cleaned the bottom of the bowl! 🥬 The scrambled eggs with shallots are a must! The first time I tried sand shallots, I was completely blown away! Sand shallots are a local wild vegetable in Ejina. They have a slightly crispy texture and a light onion fragrance, and they pair perfectly with scrambled eggs. The eggs are golden and fluffy, infused with the fragrant shallots, and not at all greasy. Paired with mutton offal soup, they're both refreshing and appetizing, and before I knew it, my plate was empty. 🍲 The shop is located downstairs from the old Ejina Banner police station. It's easy to find. The small space is neatly organized. The owner and his wife were incredibly welcoming. Seeing I was a tourist, they offered recommendations for the best way to enjoy it. It felt like dining at a friend's house. 🥬 Don't just stare at the poplar forests when you're in Ejina! When you're tired of exploring, come to this shop for a bowl of hot mutton offal soup and a plate of sand shallot scrambled eggs. This is the perfect way to welcome autumn in Northwest China! 🏠Xiaohe Mutton Offal Restaurant 📍Downstairs from the old police station in Ejina Banner #EjinaFood #EjinaRestaurants #EjinaPoplarForest #InnerMongoliaFood #MuttonOffalSoup #NorthwestFoodCheck-In #EjinaBanner
