Delicious Steamed Meat Dumplings Recipe

Start by chopping all the filling ingredients into small cubes. This enhances the texture and flavor of the filling.

In a large skillet, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat and add the chopped meat. Sauté the meat until it is golden brown.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently until they become soft.

Next, incorporate the diced carrot and potato into the mixture and sauté for a few more minutes.

Mix in the tomato paste and, if desired, the optional bell pepper and tomato for added flavor. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and add the bay leaves. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 40 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, water, and salt until well combined.

Gradually add the flour, mixing it in until a soft and pliable dough forms.

Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes, covered with a cloth to prevent it from drying out.

After resting, roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface. Brush it lightly with vegetable oil and cut it into squares.
