    Mongolian Buuz are the national dish of Mongolia.  They are small steamed dumplings that are filled with typically mutton or beef.  They are often times served as a meal on their own but for our International Cuisine meal we had them as a starter.  Two other dishes are made with the same ingredients, the only difference is the size and shape.  They are called Khuushuur  and Bansh. 

    Mongolian BuuzThe shape of Buzz is typically round with a hole at the top for steam to escape.  I made these in three different shapes, they were all equally good.  In Mongolia the shape of the Buuz is their prideful signature.  They are served with ketchup. Please note that when I made the dough, I reserved about 1/4 to make the fried noodles to go with the meat soup.

    A steamer basket works great for this recipe and it makes a cute serving dish as well.
