What ingredients do you need to make these Chinese Chive Beef Dumplings?
- 454 g ground beef
- 42 wrappers
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

How far in advance can we make these Chinese Chive Beef Dumplings ahead of time?
Chinese chive beef dumplings can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Here’s how long you can keep them:
- Refrigerator: You can make the dumplings up to 1 day in advance and store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Freezer: If you want to store the dumplings for longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Arrange the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the freezer until they are frozen solid. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer.
Keep in mind that the longer you store the dumplings, the more likely they are to lose their texture and flavour. To ensure the best taste and texture, it’s best to cook them as soon as possible after making them.
How to cook these Chinese Chive Beef Dumplings?
There are two main ways to cook Chinese chive beef dumplings: pan-searing and boiling. Here are the steps for both methods:
Pan-searing method:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Place the dumplings in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Add water to the skillet (enough to cover the bottom of the pan by about 1/4 inch) and cover with a lid.
- Cook the dumplings for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are fully cooked.
Boiling method:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
- Gently place the dumplings in the boiling water and stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the dumplings for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface and the filling is fully cooked.
- Add a cup[ of lukewarm water to the pot and bring it to a boil again.
- Remove the dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon and serve immediately.
Both methods are delicious and yield slightly different results. Pan-searing creates crispy bottoms with a chewy texture while boiling creates soft and tender dumplings. Serve your dumplings with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chilli oil. Enjoy!
