People who have been to Mongolia must know that the grassland there is very large, the whole lamb is tender and the wine is the strongest. In fact, the most distinctive dishes in Inner Mongolia for the New Year are not just roast whole sheep, milk tofu, milk tea and fresh milk soup; Roasted lamb chops, stone barbecues, air-dried beef, fried rice, milk tea and hand-grabbed meat will all be placed on the table for Mongolian people to eat in the New Year. When I mention Inner Mongolia, I think of all kinds of delicious mutton: cumin roast leg of lamb, hand-grabbed meat, roast whole lamb, instant-boiled mutton ... with sweet and sour cream koumiss, of course?

Mongolians eat red food and white food, white food is all kinds of dairy products, red food is meat, and they eat meat in big mouthfuls, especially during the Chinese New Year, Mongolians rarely eat vegetarian food.

However, Inner Mongolia has a vast territory, and there is a big difference between the east and the west.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, for example, Hohhot people will eat roasted seeds and nuts, mutton offal, oat noodles and peony bark, and Hulunbeier people will eat pine cones, roe deer meat, hazelnuts, blood sausage and mushrooms.

Moreover, Inner Mongolia is divided into Han nationality and Mongolian nationality, not to mention Han nationality. In addition to jiaozi, mutton and various dairy products, Mongolians also have two distinctive foods: copper pot tea and yogurt cakes.

Mongolian copper pot tea is a necessary food for entertaining guests in festivals. First, the milk tea is boiled in the traditional way, and then the air-dried beef, cheese and milk skin are added into the pot to cook. When eating, fill a bowl of milk tea first, then add milk tofu, fried rice and butter to soak. It tastes super good when it's soft, and the more it soaks, the better?

If it can be served with fruit, steak and eggs, it will be the top delicacy in the festival!

There is also yogurt cake, which is mixed with white flour and milk and fried in a pot. Although it is simple to make, it tastes surprisingly good, soft and rich, and it is most popular with the elderly and children at home. In winter, it is eaten with copper pot tea while it is hot. That smell will definitely make you unforgettable!
