Buuz

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Water

3/4 cup (or as needed)

Ground beef

1 pound

Onion

1, finely chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Vegetable oil

1 tablespoon

Green onions

2, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Once the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces (about 1.5 inches in diameter). Roll each piece into a thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
4. Place a generous spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal the dumpling securely.
5. Arrange the buuz in a steamer basket lined with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
6. Steam the buuz over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is translucent and cooked through, and the filling is hot.
7. While the buuz are steaming, heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Serve the steamed buuz hot, garnished with the sautéed green onions. Enjoy them with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
