Let's Cook Mongolian!

This week I had a Mongolian friend come by to show me how to cook some Mongolian food, so I thought I would share it on here.  Sorry, if my brain had been fully intact I would have gotten some pictures, but oh, well.

  Milk Tea:  This is THE Mongolian drink.

     8 cups water

     2 cups milk

     1/4 cup Mongolian loose tea

     4 tsp salt

Add all together in large pot and bring to boil.  Gently boil about 5 minutes.  With screen strainer remove tea leaves.  Serve hot.

   Soyvung:  This is Tony's favorite Mongolian dish.  Stir fry with Homemade noodles.

     4 cups flour

     2 cups warm water

     1 tsp salt

Mix well to form dough, adding flour or water as necessary.  Cover and let rest.

     1 lb. beef chunks

     1 small head cabbage, chopped

     1 lg onion

     3 cloves garlic

     5-6 carrots

     1 bell pepper

Heat 1/2 cup oil over medium-high heat, add chopped vegetables starting with onion, and garlic, adding meat last.  Cover and cook over medium heat.  Meanwhile, divide dough into 3 equal pieces and roll out on floured surface as thinly as possible.  When all dough is rolled out lightly spread each piece with oil, stack the pieces, fold together as layers and slice with knife into 1/4 in. strips.  When all dough is chopped, add all noodles to skillet and cover again, allowing to cook 10-15 minutes.  Add salt and pepper as needed.
