Prep: 25 min · Cook: 15 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

• 0.5 lb ground beef
• 1 cup broccoli
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 20 dumpling wrappers
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Cooking instructions

1. Finely chop the broccoli and grate the ginger. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, broccoli, ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until evenly mixed. (about 5 min)
2. Place one wrapper on a work surface. Add about 1 tablespoon filling to the center, moisten the edge with water, fold the wrapper over, and press firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. (about 12 min)
3. Heat the neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the dumplings flat-side down and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. (about 3 min) — Medium-high heat
4. Add 1/2 cup water, immediately cover the skillet, and steam until the wrappers are tender and the beef reaches 160°F, about 7 to 9 minutes. Uncover and cook 1 minute to evaporate excess water. (about 10 min) — Medium heat
5. Stir together 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Serve the hot dumplings with the dipping sauce. (about 2 min)
