Thanks to All Mongolian Recipes, I bring you “Mongolian Food that I have Eaten in the Past Year.” To find out more about the food (and how to make it!) click on the link. I have ordered these items from tastiest to least tastiest. Well, in my opinion, of course.
* Khorkhog - real Mongolian BBQ
* Tarag- Mongolian yogurt
* Tsuvian- homemade noodle dish
* Suutei tsai- milk tea
* Gambir- fry bread
* Budaatai Khuurga- rice dish
* Khailmag- caramelized clotted cream
* Khuushuur- fried meat filled pockets
* Chansan Makh-boiled meat and innards (Note: I enjoy the meat much more than the innards.)
* Boortsog- fried bread snack
* Guriltai shul- noodle soup
* Buuz- steamed meat filled pockets
* Bansh- small boiled meat filled pockets
* Aruul- dried curds
* Byaslag- Mongolian cheese
* Mongol Arkhi- milk liquor
* Ayrag- fermented mare’s milk
* Urum- clotted cream
* Banshtai tsai- milk tea with bansh
* Bantan- flour meat soup
* Uuz- mutton back (with lots o’ fat)
* Ul boov- hard holiday sweet bread
* Arkhi- vodka
So, there ya go. Just a taste of my Mongolian culinary experience, but trust me, in order to really experience this stuff, you have to eat it yourself.
