Ingredients

• 250 grams lean ground beef (or turkey)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 egg white
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 30 wonton wrappers
• 0 cooking spray
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle. Press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4

Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 5

Arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden.

Step 6

Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and allow the dumplings to steam for about 5 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

Step 7

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium again. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the dumpling bottoms crisp up once more.

Step 8

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
