Mongolian air‑drying of yak cheese, known as aaruul, involves exposing curd to ambient conditions (20–30 °C, 30–50 % RH) for 7–10 days, during which moisture loss, proteolysis, and lipid oxidation drive flavor development while preventing spoilage.
Mongolian air‑dried meat is a traditional preservation method that uses low‑temperature, low‑humidity drying and salt to reduce water activity below 0.6, inhibiting microbial growth while preserving protein integrity.
Mongolian air-drying is a traditional preservation technique that removes moisture from thinly sliced meat using air circulation and low humidity.
A traditional Mongolian technique of fermenting horse milk to produce a slightly sour and effervescent beverage.
