Naturally Gluten-Free Mongolian Treasures

Embrace these traditional dishes typically free from gluten:

• Boodog: Goat or marmot cooked inside its skin with hot stones – pure meat perfection.
• Khorkhog: Tender mutton stewed with vegetables using stone-heating techniques (skip optional wheat-based sauces).
• Guriltai Shöl (Soup Version): Clear meat broth with sliced meat and vegetables; ensure noodles are omitted or gluten-free.
• Aaruul: Sun-dried curd cheese, a portable, protein-packed snack.
• Boortsog (Modified): Though traditionally fried wheat dough, some ger camps offer gluten-free versions using rice or buckwheat flour.

Navigating Gluten Pitfalls

While wheat flour has influenced modern Mongolian cuisine, watch out for:

• Dumplings like buuz or khuushuur (wheat wrappers)
• Thickened soups and stews containing flour
• Soy or oyster sauce derivatives in marinades
