Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water, boiling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped chives, coconut aminos, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and add it to the beef mixture. Mix until well combined. Set aside while you prepare the dumpling wrappers.
In another large bowl, combine the arrowroot flour, tapioca flour, and salt. Gradually pour in the boiling water while stirring with a spatula. Continue mixing until a dough starts to form.
Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a clean surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more arrowroot flour as necessary.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a small circle using a rolling pin, about 4 inches in diameter. Cover with a cloth to prevent drying out.
Take a wrapper and place a small spoonful of the beef mixture in the center. Fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork for a decorative touch.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the dumplings and cook for 2 minutes until the bottoms start to brown.
Carefully add a splash of water to the skillet (about 1/4 cup), cover immediately with a lid, and let the dumplings steam for 5 minutes until fully cooked and the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another 2 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy these delicious Whole30-compliant beef and chive dumplings!
