Buuz

Mongolia · East Asia

Plate of steamed pleated meat dumplings on a wooden table.
Buuz

The wrappers are made from flour and water, enclosing minced mutton or another meat such as beef. The All Mongolian Recipes version adds onion, garlic, water, salt, pepper and caraway to the filling. Its dough is unyeasted; the site distinguishes it from the yeasted mantuun buuz variant.[1]

A common shape is rounded, with pleats gathered around a small opening at the top. Flower-like and crescent shapes are also described. The filled dumplings cook in a steamer; the thin edges of the dough are pinched together to hold the filling.[1]
