- 1/2 cup mushrooms crimini or button, minced
- 1 Tablespoons fresh ginger grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 green onion minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package fresh wonton wrappers
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Broth:
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 medium shallots thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 4 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 3 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1-2 Tablespoons chili oil for serving
- Green onions sliced, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 pound ground lamb, 1/2 cup mushrooms, 1 Tablespoons fresh ginger, 2 cloves garlic, 1 Tablespoon soy sauce, 1 green onion, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- To assemble: Add about 1 teaspoon lamb filling to each wonton wrapper. Brush water around the edges of the wrapper then fold the edges up around the filling and pinch to seal. Add 1/4 cup sesame seeds to a small bowl or shallow dish. Brush the bottoms of the dumplings with water then dip in sesame seeds.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon sesame oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the 2 medium shallots and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger and 4 cloves garlic and cook another minute, until fragrant. Add the 3 cups chicken broth, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and the 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar. Season to taste with pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Keep warm.
- Heat 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dumplings and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Carefully add 1/4 cup water to the skillet, and cover immediately. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the dumplings steam for 5-6 minutes*.
- Ladle broth into bowls and top with wontons, green onions and chili oil. Enjoy!
Notes
*Note: USDA recommends cooking ground lamb to 160 degrees.
