In Inner Mongolia, the wind blows through patches of green grass. I occasionally see groups of cattle and sheep passing by. I raise my head and see the clouds hanging in the blue sky. They blink cutely and say hello. Are you right?
What about most of the memories of visiting Inner Mongolia? In fact, in addition to seeing the beautiful and vast grasslands when traveling to Mongolia, one thing you must not miss is its food. The food here is very unique and rare in other places.
The atmosphere is peaceful, and mostly meat and dairy products are consumed.
Next, let’s taste Inner Mongolia’s delicacies together.
1 Grilled Lamb Chops When talking about the delicacies of Inner Mongolia, many outsiders will think of mutton. Then Grilled Lamb Chops is one of them. It is fragrant but not greasy, with crispy skin, dipped in some condiments, smelling delicious and tender when eaten.
The fragrance lasts for three days.
2 Inner Mongolia Hot Pot There are actually many types of hot pot, but your favorite must be Inner Mongolia hot pot.
In 1984, a mural was unearthed in Aohan Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, showing Khitan people sitting on the floor around a hot pot in a dome. According to expert research, this painting depicts the scene of Khitan people eating boiled mutton in the early Liao Dynasty.
This is enough to show the long history of Inner Mongolia hot pot, but this is not the point. The important thing is that the Inner Mongolian mutton is good! It is really tender and fragrant.
3 Braised sauerkraut In the past, when it was time to freeze every winter, people in every household would kill pigs and then put them in a cool room or a folk recipe to freeze naturally. This would not affect the taste of the meat itself. Braised sauerkraut in western Inner Mongolia was the most popular.
The people welcome it.
