Fish and mutton buns were first created during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Wang Dacai, a famous chef from Shouyang, followed the chef Qi Junzao, the chef of three generations of emperors, and traveled all over the country. While inheriting the skills of northern dishes, he also absorbed and mastered a lot of cooking skills of southern dishes, especially in Chinese cooking skills such as the same origin of medicine and food, and dietary balance. He also developed and studied many cooking health secrets in practice. Among them, "fish and mutton buns" and "fish and mutton dumplings" are pasta made with mixed fish and mutton fillings, which are the representative works of these health-preserving dietary secrets. The cooking skills of fish and mutton buns are a complete set of techniques for processing fish, mutton and other auxiliary materials and condiments under certain ecological conditions.
