Another traditional Uyghur dish is Polow which is made in the Uyghur region of western China. It is described as the most classic and typical Uyghur rice dish that takes hours of work to cook and prepare it. The menu describes it as a "healthy and strong dish of Uyghur history. There is a saying people are living longer because of eating Polow." It is served with a salad of thinly sliced cucumber and tomato and a small dish of homemade yogurt.
