ägiin

Ägiin is a traditional Mongolian dish that has been a staple in the cuisine of Mongolia for centuries. The term "ägiin" translates to "meat" in English, and the dish is primarily made from mutton, although other types of meat such as beef, lamb, or horse meat can also be used. The meat is typically marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

The cooking process for ägiin involves slow-cooking the marinated meat in a pot with water, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender. Once the meat is cooked to the desired tenderness, it is often served with a side of steamed rice or noodles. The dish is typically garnished with chopped green onions and served with a side of pickled vegetables or a spicy sauce.

Ägiin is a popular dish in Mongolia and is often served at social gatherings, festivals, and family celebrations. It is also a common dish in Mongolian restaurants around the world. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavor and tender, juicy meat, making it a favorite among both locals and visitors to Mongolia.
