Beef Wonton

Beef Wontons feature ground beef seasoned with Chinese five-spice, ginger, scallions, and other aromatics, mixed with chicken stock and egg for a tender, sticky filling. The dumplings are boiled until they float, producing delicate, savory parcels served with a hot and sour sauce or in a mild chicken stock broth. The combination of spices and careful folding creates a satisfying texture and balanced flavor profile in each wonton.

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak Sichuan peppercorn with boiling hot chicken stock and set aside for 10 minutes. Strain and remove the Sichuan peppercorns.
  2. Add the ground beef in a large bowl with a smaller egg. Mix until the egg is well absorbed. Penetrate the chicken stock with beef by three batches. Each time after adding the stock, use a chopstick to stir it in one direction until all the liquid is absorbed. Continue stirring for couple of minutes after mixing all of the chicken stock until the beef becomes quite sticky and fluffy. Add ginger, scallion white, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, five spice powder and sesame oil. Combine well and keep stirring for couple of minutes. Set aside for 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
  3. Assemble the wontons one by one.
  4. To boil the wontons, bring a large pot of water to a boiling and then add wonton to cook 2-3 minutes until they floats on the surface. Then add several leafy vegetables, I use asparagus lettuce leaves this time.
  5. Mix the serving seasonings in bowls and pour in the water for boiling wontons and transfer wontons.
