The cook stuffed mutton into the cake, and then added some chopped onions, tomatoes and so on. Pour the seasoning on it and it will become a fast food patty.

It is said that this barbecue method originated from the tradition of no-pot barbecue on the ancient battlefield, and soldiers used combat knives to barbecue.
