Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Lean ground beef
- 30 grams Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 piece Egg white
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
- Vegetable or nonstick spray
- as needed Water
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, chopped chives, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, egg white, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well-combined.
Prepare a clean, dry work surface and lay out several wonton wrappers.
Place about a teaspoon of the beef mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with a little water using your finger or a small brush.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges tightly to seal and removing as much air as possible.
If desired, create pleats along the edge for a more traditional appearance.
Repeat the process until all the beef mixture is used.
Lightly coat a large skillet with vegetable or nonstick spray over medium heat.
Add the dumplings in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and quickly cover with a lid.
Allow the dumplings to steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the wrappers become translucent and the beef is cooked through.
Uncover and cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms further if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
