What Is the Xi'an Lamb Soup with Bread Called?

Question

I had a chance to visit Xian province in China. Many of their dishes are spicy and unique. One of the staple dishes (as some one there said) was so good. It was one pot soup with lamb pieces and bread pieces, herb etc. It was spicy and very good. Wish Milkstreet will carry recipe for the same. Thanks

Hi Ravi - I'm fairly sure that what you are referring to is paomo - a stew/soup made of chopped up, steamed bread called mo or mantou, cooked in a lamb broth and served with pieces of lamb. We don't have a recipe for it here at Milk Street (yet!) but I will pass along your idea to our editors and recipe developers. Thanks for the idea! Best, Lynn C.
