Xinjiang traditional food -- Naan

Naan is an unshakable existence in the three meals of Xinjiang people, and each naan is an expression of the culture of a time. The naan is a type of flatbread that is fermented with flour made from wheat or corn, kneaded into dough, and then baked in a special fire pit (commonly known as Naan pit). There are about 50 kinds of naan. Xinjiang people can have no meat for a day, but cannot live a day without naan. Traditional naan making craft merge with modern technology, and naan making has become a new industry, allowing Xinjiang people to get rich through naan. Let us enter the "time tunnel" of the naan, telling the legend, the origin, the stories, the history and the culture of the naan.
