Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 50 g fresh chives
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 pack dumpling wrappers
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- n/a water
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
Instructions
Finely chop the chives and set them aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped chives, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay a dumpling wrapper flat on a clean surface and place a teaspoon of the beef mixture in the center.
Dip your finger into a small bowl of water and moisten the edge of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges tightly to seal.
Optionally, create pleats along the edge for a decorative touch.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, ensuring all dumplings are tightly sealed.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.
Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately to steam the dumplings.
Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings fry for another minute to crisp up the bottoms.
Serve the dumplings hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with a little vinegar or chili oil.
