Hand-grabbed lamb is a type of red food. Mongolians refer to meat as red food, known in Mongolian as "Ulaan Id." It is a traditional dish that has been enjoyed by the Mongolian people for thousands of years and is a staple in the diet of herders. The specific preparation involves selecting tender, fattened lambs from the current year. After slaughtering the lamb on-site, its chest cavity is opened and the artery is severed. The skin is removed, the internal organs taken out, and the carcass is cleaned...
After slaughtering a sheep and opening its abdomen, the sheep’s fat intestine is removed—it is thick and contains a fair amount of fat. The intestine is rinsed clean with salt water, then two tender and crisp strips of loin meat are sliced from both sides along the spine inside the sheep’s abdominal cavity, along with some meat from the neck. These are mixed with chopped scallions, garlic, ginger powder, prickly ash powder, and salt, then minced into a meat filling. After mincing, some fried flour is sprinkled on top, and the mixture is stuffed into the fat intestine. When stuffing, one end of the intestine is tied off; as the filling goes in, the side with the fat naturally turns inward along with the meat, while what was originally on the inside turns outward. The stuffed intestine is rinsed again with clean water and then boiled in a pot. Once cooked, it is taken out, cut into segments about three inches long, and served on a plate. A mashed garlic paste mixed with vinegar is served on the side, and diners dip the sausage pieces to eat—its flavor is incredibly delicious.
