Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 60 grams Chives, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 large Egg
- 20 leaves Cabbage leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- Dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chives, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Carefully separate the cabbage leaves, taking care not to tear them. If needed, trim the thick stem part to make them more pliable.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the cabbage leaves for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until they are slightly softened. Remove and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place a small amount (about 1-2 tablespoons) of the beef mixture onto the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold the cabbage over the mixture and roll, tucking in the sides to form a dumpling.
Prepare a steamer by bringing a couple of inches of water to a boil in a pot and placing a steaming rack on top.
Arrange the cabbage-wrapped dumplings on a plate that fits inside the steamer, leaving space between each to ensure even cooking.
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 10 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the dumplings from the steamer and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle with rice vinegar for extra flavor.
Serve the dumplings warm with your preferred low-carb dipping sauce on the side.
