Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 ml warm water
- 250 grams ground beef
- 30 grams fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 piece garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces green onions
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour and warm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh chives, green onions, and garlic clove. Grate the ginger.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped chives, green onions, ginger, garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a log and cut each log into 8 pieces to make 32 dough pieces.
Step 6
Roll each piece into a ball, flatten it, then roll into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling into a half-moon shape, sealing the edges by pinching and pleating the dough.
Step 8
Prepare a steamer over a pot of boiling water, ensuring the water does not touch the dumplings.
Step 9
Place dumplings in the steamer in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 10
Steam for 15 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and the filling is hot.
Step 11
Remove the dumplings carefully from the steamer and serve warm. Optionally, serve with extra low-sodium soy sauce for dipping.
