▲Chuan (pronounced "chwan") are small pieces of [[meat]] roasted on [[skewer]]s over [[charcoal]], or sometimes, electric heat. It is also sometimes cooked by deep frying in oil (popular in Beijing). It can be classified as a type of [[kebab]]. Chuan was traditionally made from [[Lamb and mutton|lamb]] (''yáng ròu chuàn'', 羊肉串, lamb meat chuan), which is still the most common kind, but now, [[Chicken (food)|chicken]], [[pork]], [[beef]], and various types of [[seafood]] can also be used. Especially in tourist areas, chuan can be found made with various insects, bugs, birds, and other exotic animals. In general, chuan may be spiced according to preference, but generally [[cumin]] seeds, dried [[Capsicum|red pepper]] flakes, [[salt]], [[black pepper]], and [[sesame]] or [[sesame oil]] are sprinkled or brushed onto it. Another popular incarnation is ''[[mantou]] chuan'' or "steamed bun chuan"; it is commonly brushed with a [[Tianmianjiang|sweet bean sauce]] (甜面酱, not to be confused with sweet [[red bean paste]]), and its taste serves as a foil to the often spicy meat chuan.
In Tianjin and Jinan, chuan is often served with small round breads (馅饼, ''xiàn bǐng''), also grilled with the same spices. ''Xiàn bǐng'' technically means "pie" or "filled bread". After cooking the bread and meat, the bread is split open and chuan meat is stuffed inside, then eaten together.
