Khuushuur
(Mongolian Fried Dumpling)
Prep Time: 30 mins, Cook Time: 10-20 mins, Servings: 4
Ingredients
¾ pound ground beef
1 medium size of minced
yellow onion
3 to 5 tablespoons of water
Salt
Ground black pepper
Caraway (optional)
Oil for frying
1 cup flour
½ cup warm water
Directions
Mix minced meat and onion. Add water until the mass is smooth
to work with. Add salt and spices taste. Mix flour and water to
create a pliable dough. Let it rest for 15 min. Cut the dough into 1
¼ in thick slices. Roll the slices and cut into 1 ½ in pieces, flatten
the pieces with a finger. Roll the dough into 4 in circles making
the center slightly thicker than the edge. Place about 1½ tsp of
the meat mixture and fold the circle in half so that the edges meet
over the meat and pinch edges together to seal.
Fill a large skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 325°F.
Using tongs, carefully place the dumplings in the hot oil, flipping
once halfway through cooking until golden brown, about 5-8
mins. Repeat with the remaining khuushuur and serve.
