Khuushuur are half-moon shaped pastries filled with meat, normally mutton or beef. They can also be stuffed with vegetables and kimchi, and are then deep-fried.
​
Wheat isn’t grown in Mongolia, so this dish is believed to have come from neighbouring China, and has been localised using Mongolian ingredients. The dish is normally eaten during the Naadam festival in July as a street food. The Naadam festival celebrates Mongolia’s independence from the Qing Dynasty and is also the state flag day.
