Tips for Folding Dumplings
You can use dumplings or wonton wrappers. I always think square wrappers are easiest to fold together. Be careful not to overfill them, or they will burst open when cooking. I found this $5 dumpling press at my local kitchen store and it’s lasted me for years. It makes things so much easier! Dip your finger into a bowl of water and moisten the edges of the dumpling wrapper. This helps the edges seal together.
Remember, practice makes perfect, and you’ll likely improve with each dumpling you make. But every dumpling is delicious – so don’t worry about perfection!
How to Make Beef Dumpling Soup
Cook Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a big skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until most of the juicy liquid is gone. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside to cool. Dumpling Filling: In a big bowl, mix ground beef, ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, green onions, and the cooled mushroom mixture. Stir and set aside. Make Broth: In a medium sized pot, heat olive oil. Cook green onions, ginger and garlic together. Pour in beef broth and soy sauce, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for at least 10 minutes while you are preparing the dumplings. Fill Dumplings: Place filling in the middle of each dumpling wrapper. Wet the edges, fold over to make a dumpling, and press to seal. Repeat until all dumplings are filled. You can do this by hand, or with a simple dumpling press! Brown Dumplings: Cooking the dumplings is a 2 step process, first we brown and then we steam! Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add dumplings and cook until the bottoms are lightly browned. Steaming Dumplings: Reduce heat, add water, and cover. Let dumplings steam until softened and the filling is fully cooked. Repeat until all dumplings are cooked. Serve dumpling soup: Put dumplings in a bowl, pour some broth over them, and enjoy!
