I\u2019ve written extensively about the oppressed Uyghur people who reside in the Xinjiang region of northwest China and, naturally, their cuisine, so I won\u2019t repeat myself here (but if you\u2019re so inclined you can learn more by searching for Uyghur at the top of any page). Happily, a number of restaurants and food court stalls have launched recently that feature this hearty Central Asian fare, and Uyghur Apandi Food is among them. Since Apandi occupies a stall (number 7, specifically) in Flushing\u2019s Super HK Food Court at 37-11 Main St, you won\u2019t be greeted with an extensive menu, but here are two of the dozen or so entries.<\/p>\n

\nNan Kordak featured segments of sesame seed encrusted Uyghur bread submerged in a soup\/stew typical for the region, populated by orange and yellow carrots, coblets of corn, green pepper, spinach, cilantro, and, of course, chunks of lamb that had given their all to flavor the homey elixir.<\/p>\n

\nLamb Lagman (lagman being the interminably protracted noodle claim to fame of Uyghur cooking) included celery, red pepper, green pepper, and hot green pepper, and was accompanied by a gratuitous cup of lamby, gingery soup. (A chicken version is available as well.)
