Gonfan
Gonfan is a rice-based Uyghur dish where boiled, fluffy rice replaces noodles, topped with a thick gravy (say) of meat and vegetables stir-fried in a wok over high heat. The meat, peppers, onion and other vegetables are cooked quickly over high heat to keep their juiciness and texture.
Gonfan is served hot — the rice is topped with the gravy right before serving, easy to eat with a spoon or fork, mixing it in as you go. Spice level is moderate and adjustable on request; it's lighter than the noodle-based dishes and suits those who prefer rice over laghman.
