Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 50 grams Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 24 pieces Whole wheat dumpling wrappers
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, chopped chives, low-sodium soy sauce, ground white pepper, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
2. Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the beef mixture and place it in the center of the wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges tightly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
4. Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining dumpling wrappers and beef mixture.
5. In a large steamer pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Lightly brush the steamer basket with a little sesame oil to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
6. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. Steam the dumplings over the boiling water for about 12-15 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
7. Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with a side of low-sodium soy sauce or your choice of dipping sauce.
