Xinjiang lamb skewers are made from freshly cut loin of local lamb, cut into pieces about 3 cm long and 1 cm wide, and seven or eight pieces of meat are skewered and grilled on the charcoal fire. The fatty and lean meat is grilled to a crisp, sprinkled with salt and chili powder and ready to eat!

Everything can be roasted in Xinjiang! "Baked eggs" is very strange to me, but it is a very common food in the eyes of Xinjiang people.
There is no difference between grilled eggs and grilled lamb skewers, except that the lamb skewers are replaced with "eggs" and "goose eggs", which are also grilled over a charcoal fire.
Although only a different way of cooking, "baked eggs" taste is indeed more flavorful than "boiled eggs"! The egg whites are stronger and the yolks are fuller, so it's a great taste!
