Steamed Beef and Orange Dumplings Recipe
Total time: more than 2 hours
Preparation time: 20 minutesMarinating time: 4 hours (see the chef's notes for a shorter version)
Cooking time: 8-10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
You can also used ground beef or pork or leftover braised beef and thus avoid the marinating time.
For a very quick and even more economical version, use ground beef; replace the pork fat and the two starches with fresh breadcrumbs and increase the cooking time to 10 minutes.
For a party, you can decorate a few of the dumplings with tiny edible flowers, such as little pansies.
For an unusual and fragrant note, slip a few kafir lime leaves in among the dumplings; you can find them in Chinese groceries and some Asian shops. You can make the dumplings ahead of time and reheat them by steaming them just before serving. Always use the bamboo steamer as a serving dish.
