Maybe many people have been to Inner Mongolia. They found that mutton in Inner Mongolia is not as smelly as mutton in other places, and they think there is no cooking secret.

Fourth, there are many ways to eat shallots:
Allium mongolicum Regel is tender in spring, because it is not a tourist season, so few tourists can eat fresh Allium mongolicum Regel. In the tourist season, Allium mongolicum Regel on the grassland has become very old and the fiber is very thick and hard, which is no longer suitable for us to eat. At that time, most of what we ate was "canned shallot", which was incomparable with fresh shallot.
