When the dumplings float to the top, they are ready and can be eaten in milk tea or soups. This Mongolian mouth-watering dish is normally served with side condiments as a separate dish.

Boodog

Usually made with the whole goat, Boodog is a typical Mongolian roast filled with hot stones, potatoes, and onions which are cooked with the meat. Apart from goats, whole marmots may also be used to prepare the roast. The stones with smooth, circular surfaces go into the upper legs, while the larger ones are put in the cavity of the abdomen.

The animal’s neck is bounded by a piece of wire. When all of the skin surfaces start leaking fat, Boodog is cooked. This nomadic dish can be found throughout Mongolia, although a more refined take on Boodog is also served by many Ulan Bator restaurants.

Borts

Borts is one of the famous dishes of Mongolia that consists of dried meat from cows, goats, and camels. This dish was invented as a means of preserving meat for the long winter season. First, the meat is cut into long, thick strips and then hung on a rope to dry until a slightly brownish color form. It is broken into smaller pieces when it’s ready and can be kept for months, or even years.

Kumis

Kumis is a fermented dairy product that originated in ancient Mongolia, but it has spread through Central Asia over time. The drink is similar to kefir, but it is usually made from raw milk of the mare, which contains more sugar than the milk of the goat or cow, and is also high in protein and vitamin. Because of the high amount of sugar in the milk of the mare, when it is fermented, kumis has higher alcohol content than kefir. Kumis becomes an araka or arkhi if distilled into the spirit. Kumis has a slightly acidic taste and an aftertaste of almonds is also there in this light-bodied milk drink.

It is usually served chilled in small cups, known as piyala, in Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia. Kumis is normally drunk, like medication because of its health benefits.

Buuz

Buuz is a traditional steamed dumpling dish of Mongolia that is filled with meat such as beef or mutton. Usually, salt, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs are also seasoned with the beef. The dumplings are prepared in large quantities and consumed throughout the year, but during Tsagaan Sar, the Mongolian New Year celebration that usually takes place in February, Buuz is the most popular dish of Mongolia.

This dish of Mongolia is mostly eaten by hand. The dumplings are usually served as the side dish with fried bread, dipping sauces, and salads, although mixing them with drinks such as vodka or tea is recommended.
