Dough, Beef-Pork Filling, and Broth
Method
Dough, Filling, and Broth Prep
- 1
Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, instant dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly distributed.
- 2
Make a well in the center; add warm water and vegetable oil; mix to form a shaggy dough.
- 3
Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth; cover and let rise until doubled, 60-90 minutes.
- 4
Prepare the filling base
In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, minced ginger, and green onions with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and white pepper; mix until well combined and slightly sticky.
- 5
Make gelatin broth
In a small saucepan, heat pork stock with gelatin powder until gelatin fully dissolves; do not boil; set aside to cool.
- 6
Chill the broth to set
Pour the gelatin broth into a shallow dish and refrigerate until firm; cut into small cubes.
- 7
Incorporate broth into filling
Gently fold the gelatin cubes into the filling so each portion contains a small broth cube.
- 8
Shape wrappers
Divide dough and roll into about 24 small rounds, thinning the centers to a 3-inch diameter.
- 9
Assemble dumplings
Place about 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each wrapper; pleat and pinch to seal the dumplings well.
- 10
Steam
Steam the dumplings in a lined steamer over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until wrappers are translucent and filling is cooked.
- 11
Serve
Serve hot with a simple dipping sauce (soy-vinegar or chili oil) and enjoy the Five Guys-inspired flavor twist.
