Ingredients

Scale

40–50 Dumpling Wrappers (store-bought round gyoza or potsticker wrappers)
1 lb Ground Beef (lean)
2–3 tbsp Curry Powder (mild to medium)
2–3 tbsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
2–3 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
3–4 Spring Onions (Scallions, sliced thin)
2–3 tbsp Soy Sauce (low-sodium)
1–2 tsp Sesame Oil
Optional Veggies (grated carrot or finely chopped cabbage)
1/2 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or crunchy)
2–3 tbsp Soy Sauce (low-sodium)
2–3 tbsp Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
1–2 tbsp Sweetener (maple syrup or honey)
2–3 tbsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
2–3 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
1–2 tbsp Non-alcoholic Cooking Sake Alternative or Rice Vinegar
1–2 tsp Chili Paste or Sriracha (to taste)
Water or Coconut Milk (to thin the sauce)
Wooden or Metal Skewers
Fresh Cilantro (for garnish)
Crushed Peanuts (for garnish)
Chili Flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Sauce – In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sweetener, minced ginger, minced garlic, and your non-alcoholic cooking sake alternative or rice vinegar. If you like a little heat, add a dash of chili paste or sriracha now. Gradually whisk in water or coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Curry Dumpling Filling – In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, curry powder, minced ginger, minced garlic, sliced spring onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. If adding optional veggies, mix them in now. Use your hands to mix until just combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Dumplings – Take one dumpling wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the beef filling in the center. Moisten the edges of half the wrapper, fold it over to create a half-moon shape, and seal. Repeat until all filling is used.
Step 4: Cook the Dumplings – Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Place a single layer of dumplings in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully pour in water, cover, and steam until cooked through.
Step 5: Skewer and Serve – Thread 2-3 dumplings onto each skewer. Drizzle with peanut sauce and garnish with cilantro, crushed peanuts, and chili flakes. Serve immediately.
