Beefy Chinese Dumplings

This is a delicious meat and veggie dumpling recipe that my mom has been making ever since I can remember. It may take some time and practice when it comes to making these, but it's well worth it. Just boil them in water, and serve hot with soy sauce, or add them to a soup.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 onion, minced
• 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 cups shredded Chinese cabbage

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together beef, cabbage, carrot, and onion. Stir in the egg, sugar, salt, soy sauce, and vegetable oil.

Step 2

Place a large teaspoonful of filling in the center of a dumpling skin. Moisten the edges of a wonton with a few drops of water. Then fold the dumpling in half, and pinch the edges together to seal. Create a ripple pattern along the pinched edge by pinching and gently pushing together small segments of it. Repeat with remaining dumplings.

Step 3

Boil the dumplings in water until they float to the top, about 5 minutes.
