A single bowl typically contains parts from four or five different organs — head meat, lung, liver, tripe — all simmered together.

Lamb offal — including tripe, lung, liver, and head meat — is boiled together with pepper, onion, and chili oil into a hearty, warming stew.

Why it's made this way: Using the offal alongside prized cuts reflects the Hui Muslim tradition of using the whole animal.
