Tsuivan
Mongolian mutton and vegetable stew finished with hand-cut steamed wheat noodles.
About Tsuivan
Tsuivan is a popular Mongolian noodle dish in which fresh hand-cut noodles cook with meat and vegetables. This profile follows a traditional mutton version with white cabbage, carrots, onion and garlic.
Mutton gives the dish a deep savoury richness, while onion, garlic, cabbage and carrot bring sweetness and freshness. Salt and pepper keep the seasoning direct, allowing the meat and vegetables to flavour the noodles.
The finished dish is moist but not soupy, with pale-brown noodle strips mixed through small pieces of mutton and softened vegetables. Steaming gives the noodles a firm, slightly chewy surface that separates when the pot is mixed.
