Grilled skewers are a traditional Chinese food, referring to a cooking form in which meat, seafood, vegetables and other ingredients are skewered and then grilled over charcoal. Common types include lamb skewers, beef skewers, chicken wings, etc. When making it, the ingredients are usually marinated with salt, cooking wine, scallion slices and other seasonings. After being skewered, they are grilled over charcoal. During the process, cumin, chili powder and other seasonings are sprinkled, giving it a smoky and fragrant flavor.
The history of this food can be traced back to the ancient tradition of open-air barbecues. Modern techniques continue the charcoal grilling method and have formed a standardized process.
