The “Identity Dumplings Pavilion” was founded in 1930 by the Hui people An Liangtian. "Recognition of one force" comes from "recognition of the Lord, the main force is endless." In addition to the good lamb, the fillings of the mutton steamed dumplings are also equipped with more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines such as Amomum villosum L., soybean meal, white peony root, medlar, dried tangerine peel, ginger, cinnamon and pepper. These accessories have aroma, In addition to phlegm, appetizing, and digestive functions. Therefore, steamed dumplings are not only not greasy, but also delicious, and rich in nutrients. The method of recognizing the steamed dumplings is also very particular. The finished product should reach the standard of “thin skin, small side, large stuffing, half-mesh shape, no opening, no filling”.

The hotel is located in the south side of the west section of Qiaotou Street, Taiyuan City. It is a famous Muslim restaurant in Taiyuan City. It is an Islamic-style three-storey building with a building area of ​​1,300 square meters. The entire restaurant can accommodate up to 450 customers. The predecessor of the Yili Hotel was the Yili Halal Hotel, which was founded in 1930 by the original manager Anhai. It is said that the reason for recognizing the name of a force is from the foot of An Liang, the father of Anhai. The most famous of the hotel is the steamed dumplings of beef and mutton. The dumplings are “skinny, small, stuffing, half-moon-shaped, no opening, no filling”. The dozens of medicines used mainly include cardamom. Amomum, white peony, Atractylodes, cinnamon, clove, cumin, pepper, aniseed, dried tangerine peel, etc., known as "Thirteen incense." Because these medicines are warm, sweet and bitter, ramie fragrant, into the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidney, bladder, large intestine meridians, with mutton meat to match the qi tonic, warm in the armpit, spleen appetizer , activating blood and nourishing the heart of the therapeutic effect. Matching with beef has the effect of replenishing the spleen and stomach and benefiting qi and blood, strengthening the bones and strengthening the waist and knees. In the seasoning, there are special effects to eliminate the cockroach, and it can enhance the aroma, rich odor, increase appetite, promote digestion and many other benefits. Up to now, I have recognized the restaurant for 76 years, especially the steamed dumplings of beef and mutton. It has been rated as a famous snack by the relevant departments of the province and the city. In fact, the mutton steamed dumplings that recognize the force are originally steamed dumplings. In 1938, after the fall of Taiyuan, the beef was scarce, and the owner changed the filling to half of beef and mutton. During the War of Liberation, Taiyuan became an isolated city. In order to maintain the store, the owner was forced to turn the filling into a single lamb. I did not expect this change, not only let the store survive the difficult period, but also let the "recognition of one force" usher in a new glory.
