Tokluu

Tokluu is a traditional Mongolian dish that has been a staple in the country's cuisine for centuries. It is a type of noodle soup, typically made with wheat flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which are then stretched and cut into thin strips. These noodles are then boiled until they become translucent and soft.

The soup base is prepared using beef or mutton stock, to which various ingredients such as onions, garlic, and spices like cumin and turmeric are added. The noodles are then added to the soup, along with other ingredients like hard-boiled eggs, vegetables like carrots and cabbage, and sometimes even small pieces of meat.

Tokluu is often served with a side of pickled vegetables or a simple salad. It is a hearty and comforting dish, perfect for cold weather. The name "Tokluu" is derived from the Mongolian word for "thick," reflecting the rich and hearty nature of the soup.

In modern times, tokluu has gained international recognition and is often served in restaurants and homes outside of Mongolia. It is appreciated for its unique flavor and comforting qualities, making it a beloved dish in Mongolian cuisine.
