Steps
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground meat (turkey, beef, pork, or chicken), 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a dash of mirin, and a dash of white pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly by hand until well combined.
Form the meat mixture into average-sized meatballs. If you have extra meat, it can be refrigerated for later use.
Heat a pan over medium heat and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the meatballs to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, rolling them around to brown the exterior. Do not cook them all the way through at this stage.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Take the dumpling or wonton wrappers and place one over each meatball like a blanket, pressing it down slightly to cover.
Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the pan to create a thin layer for steaming.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 6 to 7 minutes.
Remove the lid and finish the dish by topping with chili crisp (or chili oil), sesame seeds, and a few extra dashes of soy sauce.
Notes
This technique is a great time-saver as it avoids the manual folding of individual dumplings. Ensure the pan has a tight-fitting lid to properly steam the wrappers and finish cooking the meat.
