Dongxiang Hand Catch is a special dish for the Dongxiang people living in Dongxiang Autonomous County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, and is also one of the favorite halal foods of the people living here and even the entire northwest. Dongxiang Hand Catch is a representative food in Linxia, which has been in the production history for hundreds of years. In the past, due to the sale of many stalls along the street, the eater was caught by hand, which is the origin of the word "hand grab". There is no need to grab it by hand, but the word "hand grab" is still used. There is a circulation: "Speaking of hand grab, thinking of Linxia", "guests come, do not eat hand grab, squat Linxia", so Dongxiang hand grab almost became a representative work of Hezhou food culture.
