Buuz
Mongolian steamed dumplings with mutton, onion and garlic.

About Buuz
Buuz are Mongolian steamed dumplings. All Mongolian Recipes identifies mutton as the traditional filling and the round pouch as the most traditional shape; both are selected for this profile.
Minced mutton combines with onion and garlic, while salt, pepper and caraway provide seasoning. The flour-and-water wrapper has no added salt in this published version, keeping the meat filling central.
The round dumplings have gathered tops with a small opening at the centre. The source describes a glossy finish and presents them as a complete meal, with ketchup as an optional condiment.
