Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the lamb pieces and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Pour in enough water to fully cover all the ingredients in the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. During this time, the lamb will become wonderfully tender.
- While the lamb is simmering, cook the noodles according to their package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set them aside.
- When the lamb is tender, stir in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pot, stirring them in so they're fully incorporated into the dish.
- Allow the dish to simmer for another 5 minutes. This will help the noodles absorb some of the flavors.
- Serve your Khatanii Huurga hot, garnished with a generous sprinkle of chopped green onions. Enjoy this taste of Mongolia!
Tips
- Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice such as bell peppers or peas.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, add some chili flakes or chopped fresh chili during the simmering process.
