Mapping New York City’s Best Lamb Dishes - Eater NY
"Lamb is an important ingredient in Chinese cuisine, particularly in the north and in Sichuan, but you wouldn’t know that by examining most Chinese menus in the city, where pork and chicken hold sway, with more beef than lamb. But Xi’an Famous Foods changed all that, and lamb is the king of the meats there. Check out N1: spicy cumin lamb hand-ripped noodles, based around wide wheat noodles similar to pappardelle, tossed with swatches of tender lamb and napa cabbage in gallons of chile oil gritty with Sichuan peppercorns. This dish will blow the top of your head off, especially if you ask for the highest level of spiciness." - Robert Sietsema
