Jiaozi dumplings:
- 30 round dumpling wrappers
- 250g minced beef
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp (10 ml) finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) freshly chopped coriander
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) 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 tsp 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.
