1. Mongolian milk skin: Mongolian milk skin is made of milk.
Put fresh milk into a basin. After two or three days, a thick layer of milk skin will form on it.
This layer of milk skin is folded into two layers and peeled off, and white sugar is filled in. It tastes extremely sweet.
Naipi is often used as gifts to relatives and friends during festivals and to honor the elderly.
The milk used to make milk skin is ideally squeezed in autumn, because the cows are fattest at this time and the milk oil is the richest.

Kebabs are a traditional snack in Inner Mongolia.
The meat is fresh but not sour, fat but not greasy, and easy to digest.
3. Cheese for Mongolian residents: Cheese, commonly known as casein, is a dairy product that is very popular among Mongolian residents.
There are two types of cheese: raw cheese and cooked cheese.
