These dumplings pack ground beef and finely chopped cabbage into a savory, garlicky filling wrapped in store-bought dumpling wrappers. Pan-frying then steaming gives them a crisp base and soft top, making them a satisfying appetizer or light meal served with a simple dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups cabbage, finely chopped
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 32 round dumpling wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup water, for steaming
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, for dipping

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until evenly blended.

  2. Lay a dumpling wrapper flat on a clean surface and place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.

  3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges tightly to seal, pleating if desired.

  4. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until you have 32 dumplings, keeping finished dumplings covered with a damp towel.

  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange half of the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown on the bottom.

  6. Carefully pour 1/4 cup water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam until the water evaporates and the filling is cooked through.

  7. Remove the lid and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to re-crisp the bottoms, then transfer to a plate. Repeat searing and steaming with the remaining oil, dumplings, and water.

  8. Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce for dipping.
