Trivia
[Trivia] 'Zi Ran' is Chinese for Cumin. A magical spice that completely eradicates mutton funk and abnormally amplifies appetite. In China, mutton stir-fries are dominated by two kings: Scallion (Cong Bao) and Cumin (Zi Ran).
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Contains zero liquid; the oil and cumin cling tightly to the mutton. One bite tastes 'exactly like lamb skewers (BBQ)', but because the meat is velvet-soft, it serves as the ultimate side dish for white rice.
