10th Dish Budaatai Khuurga from Mongolia

Very simple to make and the stir fry section tasted great, the problem was that I cooked too much rice so when I combined the ingredients there wasn’t enough juice/gravy to mix with the rice. As a result the dish was very dry. 

Ingredients

150-200 g Mutton
250 g Rice (It just didn’t look like I had enough rice, so I cooked twice as much)
300 ml Water
2 tbsp Oil
2 large Onions (cut in half rings)
2 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
300-400 g Vegetables (Carrots, Bell Peppers, White cabbage etc., cut in stripes)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Method

Boil rice in water with a few drops of oil. 

Cook on low flame and let the water level reach below the rice. 

In a separate pan, sauté onions and garlic in oil.

Add other vegetables and stir fry. 

Toss in the mutton and cover. Reduce to heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the contents turn

tender. Stir occasionally.  

Mix in the boiled rice.

Flavor with salt and pepper. 

Serve hot.

This will be another dish I’ll cook again once the challenge is over to see if I can improve the flavour. We found the dish a bit bland, but I fully accept that it’s my fault for cooking too much rice. However we as a family gave it 6.5 out of 10. Ammo
