Mongolian Grill

Mongolian barbecue is a stir-fried dish that was developed in Taiwan during 1950s. Despite its name, the dish is not Mongolian and is only loosely related to barbecue.Mongolian cooking was introduced in China by Genghis Khan when he invaded in the 13th century. According to legend, Khan's armies camped at night, built bonfires and threw their round iron shields down on the hot embers for use as a cooking surface. Thus arose the tradition of the Mongolian Grill.
