Ganfan
Kyrgyzstan Dungan-Uyghur rice with beef, daikon, peppers, cabbage and a tomato-based gravy.

About Ganfan
Ganfan pairs separate rice with a savoury meat-and-vegetable gravy in Central Asian Dungan and Uyghur cooking. I Love KG’s Kyrgyzstan home rendition features beef, daikon, red and green peppers, Chinese cabbage and celery.
Tomato, onion, garlic and ginger give the sauce its aromatic base. Soy sauce, coriander and black pepper season the meat and vegetables, while the rice provides a mild cereal contrast.
The hot gravy sits beside or partly over a mound of rice, with coriander leaves above. Rice vinegar and laza chilli oil are presented separately for seasoning at the table.
