Ingredients

• 300 g all-purpose flour
• 150 ml hot water
• 250 g ground beef
• 100 g chives
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine 300g of all-purpose flour and 150ml of hot water. Mix well until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Finely chop 100g of chives and mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon of ginger.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix 250g of ground beef with the chopped chives, garlic, ginger, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 1 tbsp of cornstarch, 1 tsp of sugar, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 5

After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long log and cut each log into 12 pieces, resulting in 48 pieces.

Step 6

Take each piece of dough and roll it into a small circle of about 7-8 cm in diameter. Ensure the edges are thinner than the center.

Step 7

Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling tightly.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly oiling the base. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer without overcrowding.

Step 9

Steam the dumplings in batches over boiling water for about 12-15 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
