What meat is used in Uzbek dumplings with special sauce?

Are Uzbek dumplings with special sauce steamed or boiled?

What is the special sauce on Uzbek dumplings made of?
The sauce for Uzbek dumplings with special sauce is based on yogurt and tomato. Garlic, herbs, or spices may be added in different recipes; mixing the yogurt in gently helps keep it from splitting in a hot sauce.

How should you store leftover Uzbek dumplings with special sauce?
Refrigerate leftover Uzbek dumplings in a covered container, preferably separate from the sauce, and eat them within a few days. Reheat until the filling is thoroughly hot, using a steamer or microwave.
Why does the dough on Uzbek dumplings with special sauce split during steaming?

What is Uzbek Dumplings with Special Sauce?
Uzbek dumplings with special sauce are plump parcels of dough filled with spiced meat, traditionally steamed in Central Asian cooking. The special sauce pairs yogurt with tomato and is served over the dumplings or alongside them.
They make a hearty main course, with the tender, yielding dough contrasting with the savoury filling and tangy sauce. In Uzbekistan, manti are often served as a substantial family meal; elsewhere, they work well as a warming dinner, especially with a crisp salad to balance the richness. The dough makes this a carbohydrate-forward dish, while the meat contributes protein: a 100 g portion has 7.5 g. Use a lighter hand with the sauce if you prefer a less rich plate.
