Ingredients
Scale
Jiaozi dumplings:
- 30 round dumpling wrappers
- 250g minced beef
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
Dipping sauce:
- 25g sugar
- 1oo ml vinegar
- 25ml soy sauce
- 2 peeled slices of ginger
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 2 slices of fresh red chili
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced beef, shallot, garlic, ginger, and coriander. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the beef mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings in a single layer, seam side up, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
For best results, ensure the dumpling wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking. Dumplings can be frozen before cooking; lay them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the steaming time. Serve with soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil for dipping.
