素牙签羊肉 (Mock Toothpick Mutton)
Lunch @ "莲花素食馆", a vegetarian restaurant across from Kaiyuan Temple.
Toothpick mutton is a dish found more commonly in the western provinces of China. The challenge is to create mock mutton, largely achieved through the use of fried gluten, and then spiced and flavoured with cumin and chilli.
Mutton it may not 100% be, but it was extremely flavourful and the morsels of gluten really tender and tasty.
