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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
4. Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining dumpling wrappers and beef mixture.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
