Lao Zhou Chaobola (Main Branch)
老周炒拨拉(总店)
An old-timer chaobola stall in the Ganzhou Lane night market, where lamb offal is stir-fried over high heat on an iron griddle and served with white flatbread and Shandan rice wine. A local favorite for drinking snacks.
Chaobola is Zhangye's signature lamb offal dish: liver, lung, tripe, intestines and heart, stir-fried with scallions and garlic sprouts over high heat on a cast-iron griddle. Lao Zhou Chaobola is inside Ganzhou Lane (Ganzhou Market), a walk in from the south gate, and its sign is not very prominent. Order a plate of chaobola and have it stir-fried with white flatbread or dipped in the sauce, with a pot of Shandan rice wine. Ganzhou Lane also has snacks such as hand-rolled noodle bits, juanzi noodles and baked stuffed pastries, which are easy to eat on the way. Average spend is about RMB 40 per person.
