Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams lean ground beef
- 20 grams fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 24 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Finely mince the garlic clove and grate the ginger. Place both into a large mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh chives finely and add them to the mixing bowl with the minced garlic and ginger.
Add the lean ground beef, soy sauce, low-sodium chicken broth, and sesame oil to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined; ensure the beef mixture is evenly seasoned.
Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a clean surface.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Place about a tablespoon of the beef and chive mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Using your finger, apply a little of the cornstarch slurry around the edge of each wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal.
Crimp the edges with your fingers to ensure a well-sealed dumpling.
Bring a pot of water to boil and set up a steamer lined with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Place the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve them hot with a dipping sauce of choice, such as soy sauce or a mix of soy sauce and vinegar.
