Egg dough dumplings with ginger lamb differ from the usual dumplings, first of all, in their appearance. They are prepared in the form of small bags of egg dough, the edges of which can be sealed or tied with culinary twine. Such dumplings are prepared in the national cuisine of the peoples of the Caucasus and in many Muslim countries. They are tasty, very juicy and nutritious. Beautiful multi-colored mince is prepared from fillet, ground with garlic, onion, ginger, mint and lamb fat. The filling is wrapped in pre-kneaded dough with the addition of fresh egg yolks. Thinly rolled out, it should be elastic and durable so that the dumplings do not fall apart during cooking. In this recipe, the dough is cut into equal squares, and the dumplings are steamed - then the bags retain their shape and look beautiful when serving. They are eaten with cutlery, chopsticks, or hands - each portion is swallowed whole, so that the meat juice does not escape onto the plate.
