I'm curious about the food eaten by historical Mongol groups and in current day Mongolia. I went to a restaurant here in Canada last week (Mongolian Village) and it was pretty much just like chinese food. On the menu it said that horseriders of the Mongolian (sic?) empire would chop vegetables and fry them on their shield over fires.
I was under the impression, from my cousin who lives in Mongolia, that Mongolian food is much more cheese/curds-oriented and not particularly heavy on the vegetables. So, does anyone know anything about this?
