 +====== Uvs Cuisine ======
  
 +==== Uvs Salt-Lake Fish Soup ====
 +Freshwater fish from rivers feeding the Uvs basin simmered with onions and herbs. The broth is light but mineral-rich, reflecting the province’s unusual lake landscape. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmvFvkTc0to|YouTube]])]
 +
 +==== Tuvan-Style Khorkhog ====
 +Stone-cooked mutton prepared with fewer vegetables and more wild mountain herbs than central Mongolian versions. The herbs lend a slightly resinous, alpine aroma. [([[https://www.thefooddictator.com/the-hirshon-mongolian-khorkhog-goat-stew-cooked-with-red-hot-rocks-%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B3/|The Food Dictator]])]
 +
 +==== Horse Meat Tsuivan ====
 +Handmade noodles stir-fried with horse meat and onions. In Uvs, the dish is often darker and more intensely savory, suited to the cold western climate. [([[https://www.tasteatlas.com/tsuivan|Taste Atlas]])]
 +
 +==== Buuz with Wild Garlic ====
 +Steamed dumplings filled with mutton and fragrant wild garlic gathered from mountain valleys. The herb adds brightness to the otherwise rich filling. [([[https://adamantkitchen.com/mongolian-buuz/|Adamant Kitchen]])]
 +
 +==== Khuushuur of the Caravan Trails ====
 +Thin, crisp fried pastries once favored by traders crossing western Mongolia. Uvs versions are known for especially crunchy edges and concentrated meat fillings. [([[https://www.reflectionsenroute.com/mongolian-food-khuushuur-recipe/|Reflections Enroute]])]
 +
 +==== Borts from Mountain Air ====
 +Air-dried strips of meat hardened by cold winds and dry altitude. The resulting meat becomes intensely flavored and can be stored for many months. [([[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vvGrcrVnhss|YouTube]])]
 +
 +==== Suutei Tsai with Butter Lumps ====
 +Salted milk tea served with floating pieces of clarified butter. In Uvs winters, the drink functions almost as a liquid meal. [([[https://teatrade.co.uk/learning/mongolian-salty-tea-ritual.html|TeaTrade]])]
 +
 +==== Aaruul of the Western Plains ====
 +Dried curds formed into small shapes and hardened under sun and wind. Uvs aaruul is often especially sour, with a sharp flavor prized by herding families. [([[https://www.mongolfood.info/en/recipes/aaruul.html|Mongolfood]])]
 +
 +==== Boortsog with Steppe Honey ====
 +Fried dough pieces paired with locally gathered honey. The contrast between crisp pastry and floral sweetness makes this one of the region’s gentler flavors. [([[https://www.internationalcuisine.com/mongolian-butter-cookies/|International Cuisine]])]
 +
 +==== Uuz (Boiled Ceremonial Meat) ====
 +Large cuts of sheep meat arranged for festivals and honored guests. In Uvs, the dish often includes extra fat layers, reflecting the region’s preference for energy-dense foods. [([[https://www.mongolfood.info/en/recipes/uuz.html|Mongolfood]])]
 +
 +==== Tsagaan Idee Mountain Platters ====
 +An assortment of dairy foods—fresh curds, dried cheese, yogurt, and cream—served together as symbols of abundance and hospitality. [([[https://namsraihenderson.co.uk/2021/02/10/tsagaan-sar-mongolias-new-year/|Namsrai Henderson]])]
 +
 +==== Yak Butter Noodles ====
 +Simple noodles coated in rich yak butter from highland herds. The butter gives the dish a dense, earthy flavor unique to mountainous western Mongolia. [([[https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLq_OpCIxbW/|Instagram]])]
 +
 +==== Smoked Mutton Ribs ====
 +Ribs lightly smoked over juniper or mountain shrubs before slow cooking. The smoke adds a dry, woody aroma suited to the rugged landscape. [([[https://perthbbqschool.com/smoked-lamb-ribs/|Perth BBQ School]])]
 +
 +==== Khailmag with Salt Crystals ====
 +A caramelized cream dessert occasionally finished with tiny grains of mineral salt from the Uvs basin, creating an unusual sweet-and-salty contrast. [([[https://www.threecamellodge.com/khailmag-recipe/|Three Camel Lodge]])]
 +
 +==== Tuvan Blood Sausage ====
 +A regional specialty made from blood, fat, and grain stuffed into casings and boiled. The dish reflects both practicality and the influence of neighboring Siberian traditions. [([[https://en.tuvaonline.ru/2012/07/03/tuvan-folk-cuisine.html|Tuvan Online]])]
