LOCAL CUISINES OF DUNHUANG
Dunhuang food revolves around wheat flour noodles as the main staple of the local diet. Noodles are served with lamb, chicken, or beef. On the other hand, Dunhuang Rang Pizi has long been one of the most popular dishes in the city. These noodles are actually made from pea flour and are clear, white, cool and slippery . The noodles are seasoned with hot peppers for a cool, yet spicy feel that is just perfect for desert weather (as least that's what the locals would say!).

Shazhou Night Market is one of the best places in Dunhuang to try authentic Dunhuang specialties. Virtually all of the very best of Dunhuang's northwestern cuisine can be found here: Saozi Noodle, stuffed bread and even mutton kebabs. In addition, you will also have opportunity to sample Huanghe sweet melons, grapes and Hami melons.

Dunhuang Rangpi
unhuang Rangpi (Rangpi) is a famous local snack food made of flour. Some varieties are yellowish while others are white. With special seasonings, this dish tastes slightly spicy. This noodle-like dish is typically served cold.

Unlike Dunhuang yellow noodles, Rangpi is fairly easy to make. First boil some flour in water and stir until the starch and protein separate. Then remove the starch and boil it again. After all the water evaporates, cut the solidified starch into thin strips and add seasoning. While it may sound strange, it's not really. In fact, it is quite tasty.
Saozi noodle
Handmade Saozi noodles (Saozimian) are known far and wide in China. Saozi noodles are generally thin and have an accompanying soup that is made with meat and/or vegetables.
