Buuz

Buuz

Buuz is a traditional Mongolian steamed dumpling filled with meat and spices.

Ingredients

  • Green onions (2, chopped)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Ginger (1 teaspoon, grated)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
  • Ground beef (1 pound)
  • Water (1 cup)
  • All (purpose flour - 3 cups)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and water to make a dough. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle.
  4. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
  5. Arrange the buuz in a steamer basket lined with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
  6. Steam the buuz for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is cooked and the filling is hot.
  7. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook until softened.
  8. Serve the steamed buuz hot, garnished with the sautéed green onions.
