Chili Beef Dumplings Recipe

Dumplings can be boiled, steamed, or fried – this Chili Beef Dumplings Recipe boils them, meaning that you don’t need to use any extra oil or butter in the cooking process. It also produces a lovely, tender little parcel that just melts in your mouth.

Dumpling wrappers, also called wonton wrappers, potsticker wrappers, or gyoza wrappers are often available in the produce aisle of supermarkets next to egg-roll wrappers and tofu.  They also can be kept in the refrigerated section near the fresh pasta.

It’s really important to go for lean ground beef in this dumplings recipe, often the cheaper ground beef from the supermarket has a high-fat content which, as well as not being an ideal choice for weight loss, can make the dumpling a little too oily.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 500 g lean beef mince
• 2 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
• 1 cm piece of fresh ginger peeled and finely chopped
• 1 small red chilli deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 packet of gow gee dumpling wrappers
• 3 shallots ends removed, finely chopped

Chili Beef Dumplings RecipeInstructions

1. Over high heat, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
2. In a separate frying pan or wok, heat the oil over med/high heat.
3. Pop in the garlic, ginger and chilli and stir for 30 seconds before adding the mince.
4. Brown the mince mixture for approximately 5 mins.
5. Pour in the soy and oyster sauces.
6. Set aside to cool so that you can comfortably handle the mix.
7. Layout your wrappers and place 1 teaspoon of the mince mix into the centre of a wrapper.
