Ingredients for Beef Dumplings With An Apricot Surprise

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt
  • Garlic
  • Fresh Coriander
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • Egg

How to Make Beef Dumplings With An Apricot Surprise

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  2. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Prepare your dumpling wrappers (about 30 store-bought wrappers).
  4. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each wrapper.
  5. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  7. Carefully add the dumplings to the boiling water.
  8. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce are all great options).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
