元世祖忽必烈經年南征北討,一日,大軍正在北討的途中,忽必烈突然想起了草原極品—清燉羊肉。
於是火伕們急忙起灶宰羊…不料,探子來報:「敵軍正狂奔而來!」
大敵當前,眼看清燉羊肉快吃不到了,但忽必烈又嘴饞到不行,這時,一位聰明的火伕急中生智:他選了羊肉的上好部位,切成薄片,放在沸水中涮一下,撈在碗裡,加了點鹽,就送到忽必烈面前。餓得發慌的忽必烈這下大快朵頤，愛不釋口。接著精神抖擻的上馬迎敵。忽必烈得勝還朝後,重賞了火伕,並御賜這種吃法為 -----涮 羊 肉 |

Khubilai Khan was always on the road fighting and conquering. One day while his army was moving North, Khubilai suddenly had a yearn for “ Mutton Stew ” a delicacy of the great grasslands. So his cooks slaughtered some sheep … .
But alas, the scouts returned with news that the enemies were rapidly approaching!
The army had to move fast, and it seemed that they could not enjoy mutton stew. But Khubilai really wanted to eat mutton. A clever cook thought of an idea, he cut the best parts of the sheep into very thin slices and swished them rapidly in boiling water. Then he put the mutton slices in a bowl and added some salt. The starving Khubilai Khan gulped down the mutton slices and was energized and eventually won a victory.
After returning to the palace, Khubilai gave a big reward to the clever cook, and named the dish “ Khuabilai Khan ' s Swished Mutton ” .
