Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  3. 3 Mix green onions, cabbage, carrot, garlic, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, monosodium glutamate, salt, and pepper into ground beef mixture; cook and stir until liquid is evaporated and vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer beef mixture to a bowl and mix in 1 egg. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
  5. 5 Crack the second egg into a bowl and beat well.
  6. 6 Hold 1 wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and brush a thin layer of beaten egg on 1 edge. Scoop about 1 teaspoon beef mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  7. 7 Fold wrapper in half, corner to corner, to make a triangle and pinch the edges shut, crimping with your fingers to make a seal.
  8. 8 Press the air out by cupping your fingers over the dumpling in your palm and pressing lightly.
  9. 9 Fry wontons in the hot oil until 1 side is browned, about 1 or 2 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain using a slotted spoon.
  10. 10 To make the dipping sauce: Whisk soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds together in a bowl until smooth.
  11. 11 Serve alongside wontons.
