What kind of food they eat in mongolia?ulan bator?
The national dish is Booz – these are steamed mutton dumplings, the size of a small fist. Encased in a wheat based dough which (made from wheat) can be quite heavy. How good they are depends on the cook. If you’re unlucky, they’ll pad the filling out with other surprise ingredients (eg rice) which just soak up the fat and turn into pockets of wax. Huushuur – Fried mutton pancakes – similar to booz, but flat and fried. These, along with booz, are quite filling and good accompaniments for a main course, or eat a couple as a small meal. They are widely available. Bansh – the same as booz, but smaller and usually fried or in soup. Less common than booz or huushuur. BARBECUE Forget the Mongolian Barbecue (restaurant chain with their plethora of ingredients and condiments)it is a actually a specific and traditional delicacy (not day-to-day food)… Khorkhog – Mutton is put in a sealed container (metal or clay), layered with hot stones and vegetables and cooked slowly. Boodog – A countryside
