The most famous and most delicious dish of Buryat cuisine is bouzas. In appearance, they somehow resemble classic Russian dumplings, but the taste of the dish is completely different. The fact is that the bouzas are not boiled, but cooked for a couple of boiling fat in a large closed pan. Thus, inside the pouch of the dough an incredibly tasty and aromatic broth is formed. The name of the dish from Buryat is translated as "meat wrapped in dough". For mincemeat, pork and beef are used most often. It is interesting that the shape of this dish resembles a national Buryat dwelling - a yurt.
An important place in the kitchen of the Buryats is occupied by dairy products; it is with them that a holiday here begins. If the Russians meet guests with bread and salt, then the Buryats do so with products from milk. Fans of fragrant tea should take into account that here it is also drunk with milk. Any Buryat holiday without salomat is not a holiday; this dish has also been in demand for many centuries. It is prepared quite simply: on a very slow fire boil sour cream, stirring it with a spoon, then begin to slowly pour flour into it, stirring the mass more intensively. When a ruddy crust appears on the bottom of the cast iron boiler and along its sides, the dish is considered ready. Salomat is a very nutritious and incredibly tasty dish; it is served on a table in special bowls.
