# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Combine all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually stir in warm water until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a cloth and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
02 -
In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine ground beef, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, black pepper, and optional chili flakes.
03 -
Roll the rested dough into a cylinder, slice into equal pieces, and flatten each into a small disc. Roll each disc into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
04 -
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold over and pinch edges tightly to seal. Optionally, shape dumplings into rose-like spirals by twisting and sealing the edges.
05 -
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook dumplings in batches for 4 to 5 minutes until they float to the surface. Alternatively, pan-fry in a skillet with oil until golden, then add 1/4 cup water, cover and steam until cooked through.
06 -
Whisk together chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions until well combined.
07 -
Transfer cooked dumplings to a bowl, toss with the sauce until glossy, and garnish with extra sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Adjust chili flakes and chili oil to control spice intensity. Substitute bread flour for a thinner, chewier dough. For a vegetarian alternative, use crumbled tofu or finely chopped mushrooms and vegetables. Freeze uncooked dumplings in a single layer before storing in freezer bags.
