A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
Yak meat cut into pieces or minced. One hot-pot preparation uses pieces with both lean meat and fat, while one dumpling preparation uses foreleg meat.
In the kitchen
Yak dumplings, noodle toppings and hot pot.
Foreleg is used in this dumpling preparation, rather than being a requirement for every yak dish; ribs are a separate cut.
