Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 round dumpling wrappers
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Transfer cooked ground beef to a large bowl. Stir in cabbage, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper. This is your delicious beef potsticker filling.
- Lay a dumpling wrapper flat. Place about one tablespoon of the beef filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. You can create small pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional beef dumpling look. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling to make all your beef potstickers.
- In a large pot, bring beef broth to a simmer over medium heat.
- Carefully add the prepared beef potstickers and sliced mushrooms to the simmering broth. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
- Serve the Easy Asian Beef Dumpling Potsticker Soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. These homemade Asian beef dumplings are a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For extra crispy beef potstickers, pan-fry them in a lightly oiled pan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown before adding to the soup.
- You can prepare the beef potstickers in advance and freeze them on a parchment-lined tray before transferring to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding an extra few minutes to the cooking time.
- Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef potsticker filling.
- Consider serving with a side of authentic beef dumpling sauce, such as a mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of chili oil.
