FeasTO Pho Dumplings
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup finely chopped Napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked glass noodles (see Cook's Notes)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons packaged pho spices (see Cook's Notes)
- 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 30 to 35 round dumpling wrappers (about 10 ounces wrappers)
- Canola or vegetable oil for frying
- Soy sauce, for dipping, optional
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, cabbage, glass noodles, scallion, garlic, ginger, egg, pho spices, fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper until well mixed.
- Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a work surface and place one tablespoon of the dumpling mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Dip your finger or a pastry brush in a bowl of cool water and use it to moisten the bottom edge of a wrapper.
- Fold the top of the wrapper over the filling to form a semicircle and press the edges firmly together to seal.
- Pinch the edges to make decorative pleats.
- Repeat with all the wrappers.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer until it reaches 350 degrees F. Working in batches so the pot doesn't get overcrowded, fry the dumplings until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the dumplings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping, if using.
