Buuz

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a buuz? Prepare the ingredients. Knead the dough. Pour sifted flour into a bowl, beat in a chicken egg, add salt and pour in cold water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Knead into a dense, elastic and smooth dough. Wrap it in cling film and set it aside.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take care of the meat. If you prepare minced meat at home, then the meat needs to be washed, chopped finely with a knife or passed through a meat grinder with a large attachment (the second option is faster and easier, but the first one will turn out tastier).

4. STEP 4

   

   Finely chop the onion with a knife.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add finely chopped onions, salt and ground black pepper to the minced meat and pour in water. Stir the mixture so that it becomes more homogeneous and saturated with spices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take out the dough and divide it into two parts. You can roll out the dough into a thin layer, and then cut out circles from the dough using a glass. But these ones have thick edges. It’s better to do it in the usual way for us Russians, like dumplings are made. Roll the dough into a sausage and cut it into pieces about 3 cm wide.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll the pieces into even balls. In turn, flatten them with your palm into flat cakes, which you roll over a floured surface into a thin, even circle with thin edges.

8. STEP 8

   

   Take this cake in the palm of your left hand. Using a spoon, place the meat in the center of the flatbread and begin to pinch the edges of the dough with the fingers of your right hand, forming folds out of them. Leave a hole in the center to allow steam to escape during cooking.

9. STEP 9

   

   Dip the finished buuz bottom into oil and place in a steamer pan. Steam for about 40 minutes. The double boiler can be replaced with a pressure cooker or a multicooker with a double boiler function.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve the finished dish to the table, pouring melted butter to taste and desire, or with sauce and fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!

Instead of the usual manti, I’ll make buuz today)). I kneaded a fairly tight dough and put it in a bag to rest. In the meantime, I prepared minced meat from minced meat (I like it better than with minced meat, and I had enough time, I wasn’t in a hurry). I increased the amount of onions; we all love a lot of onions in meat dishes. The dough turned out to be elastic, easy to roll out to thinness and easy to mold. I don’t know what size the buuz should be, I made them large so that there was more filling))) I cooked them in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes. Served with fresh vegetables and sour cream sauce with herbs. Thin dough and lots of juicy filling. Delicious! Thank you Snezhana!

Everyone in our family likes Buryat steam buuzes! Yes, they are somewhat similar to manti, khinkali and other similar dishes, but there is something unique about them)). This is the third time I've made this recipe. Thanks to the author!
