Hunger, unlike ambulance sirens and restraining orders, is not something you can safely ignore. Answer the mighty call of a bellowing belly with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of custom made stir-fry, drinks, and more at bd's Mongolian Grill in Burnsville.

bd's Mongolian Grill combines do-it-yourself dining with the communal experience of collaboratively yanking out a giant radish that’s blocking the town's water supply. Guests can create their own stir-fry meal in one bowl for lunch ($7.99 for vegetarian, $8.99 for meat and seafood, $9.99 for stir-fry with soup and salad, and $12.99 for unlimited stir-fry with soup and salad) or dinner ($10.99 for vegetarian, $12.99 for meat and seafood, and $14.99 for unlimited stir-fry; all stir-fry dinners include complimentary access to the soup and salad bar). Choose from myriad meats, a variety of vegetables, a smorgasbord of sauces, and a slew of spices. Pair chicken with bean sprouts and pineapple in a stir-fry you'll deem the "Chicken with Bean Sprouts and Pineapple," or combine calamari with egg, peppers, peanut sauce, and chili powder for a meal you'll name after yourself—the "Peter Fonda." With ingredients assembled, guests will pass their stir-fry bowls on to bd's Mongolian Grill's expert grillers, who will give the appetizing assortment a trial by fire on the restaurant's large, flat grill. After the sustenance ceases to sizzle, diners are free to take their customized cuisine back to the table, where they can determine their prowess in patchworking together palate-pleasers and inflating their own egos with compliments to themselves.

Like Kublai Khan downing a pint of tiger-bone liquor while huddled over the crimson claws of a campfire, patrons at bd's Mongolian Grill can also savor specialty drinks and sodas. Enjoy a Mongolian meal from the restaurant's outdoor patio, or opt for indoor seating, where one can have a front-row seat for the gala of grilling.

Valid for dine-in only.

• The food was great. While this restaurant doesn’t really have to do anything but cook your own prepared meals I was pleased that everything was done properly and that the sauces and spices tasted nice. – Lazy Lightning
• Unique, fun litle [sic] spot. Lots of fresh ingredients and sauces to create your own dish and very affordable. I was not expecting to be impressed but I was. – Fabian, Urbanspoon
