Making a stew 鉁娾湂鉁�

We Mongolians prefer to use bones with chunks of meat on them. Once the bones are boiled with coriander and other veggie roots leave them simmering for at least a couple of hours. Then season them with all your preferred spices and herbs/greens and vola! The dish is ready. We don鈥檛 make gravy specifically, however, into the remaining thicked up broth we usually finely chop in some very fresh green onions, garlic, some coriander and parsley leaves and add a dash of soya sauce. As simple as that 馃槤馃槤...

Or add some handmade noodles to the soup...

Seems, stew is one of the most popular and easiest dish to make and enjoy around the world! Nothing new as it has turned out 馃槉馃槉馃槉
