Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until most of their liquid has evaporated and they are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.

To make the dumpling filling, mix the ground beef, ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, green onions, and the cooled mushroom mixture in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine; set aside.

To make the broth, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes, and bring to a boil, scraping up the bottom of the pan as you stir. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for at least 10 minutes while you shape the dumplings.

To assemble the dumplings, place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Brush the wrapper edges with water (a spray bottle also works well) and fold to shape. Seal each dumpling completely, leaving no openings. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, arrange the dumplings in a single layer and cook uncovered until the bottoms are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully add 1/4 cup water, immediately cover, and steam until the bottoms are golden brown and the filling is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Add more olive oil if the dumplings stick to the pan.

Transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate and keep warm. Repeat to cook the remaining dumplings.

To serve, place several dumplings in a shallow bowl and spoon the broth over them. Top with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
