[[Chuan (food)|Chuan]] ({{lang-zh|c=串|p=chuàn}}), often referred to as "chuan" in [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]] throughout the north, or kawap (كاۋاپ) in [[Uyghur language|Uyghur]], is a variation of kebab originating from the [[Uyghur people]] in the western province of [[Xinjiang]] and a popular dish in [[Chinese Islamic cuisine]]. The dish has since spread across the rest of the country and become a popular [[street food]].

Although the most traditional form of chuan uses lamb or mutton, other types of meat, such as chicken, beef, pork, and seafood, may be used as well. Small pieces of meat are skewered and either roasted or deep-fried. Common spices and condiments include [[cumin]] called "ziran", [[capsicum|pepper]], [[sesame]], and [[sesame oil]].
