Mongolia is a landlocked country in East and Central Asia. It is bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, east and west. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to about 45% of the population.

Mongolian cuisine is characterized by its reliance on meat and dairy products, reflecting the country's nomadic lifestyle and harsh climate. Traditional dishes often feature mutton, beef, and goat, with popular methods of preparation including boiling, steaming, and grilling. Dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, and fermented milk are staples, providing essential nutrients. Breads and dumplings, like khuushuur and buuz, are common, often filled with meat. The cuisine is hearty and simple, designed to sustain people through the cold winters, with limited use of spices and vegetables.
