Steps:
- To make beef dumplings, mix soy sauce and cornstarch in large bowl. Stir in carrots, onions, cilantro and salt. Add beef; mix well. Shape mixture into 30 meatballs, using about 1 tablespoon for each; set aside.
- Stir Bisquick and boiling water in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Stir in cold water until dough forms a ball (dough will be sticky). Divide dough in half. Return one half of dough to bowl; cover and set aside. Divide other half of dough into 15 balls. Roll each ball into 3-inch circle on surface sprinkled with Bisquick. Place 1 meatball in center of each dough circle. Fold dough up and around meatball, allowing meatball to show at the top. Press dough firmly around meatball, pleating to fit. Gently flatten bottom of each dumpling. Repeat with remaining dough and meatballs.
- Place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water in 3-quart saucepan (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place dumplings, open side up, in basket so edges don't touch. (If all dumplings won't fit in basket, refrigerate remainder until ready to steam.) Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and steam dumplings 16 to 18 minutes or until beef is no longer pink in center.
- Meanwhile, make Soy Dipping Sauce. In small bowl, stir together vinegar and soy sauce. Sprinkle with onion.
- Remove dumplings from steamer. Press dough firmly around meatballs. Serve warm with sauce.

Steps:
- For dough, combine flour, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2/3 cup boiling water in a medium mixing bowl, stirring constantly with a fork. Add 1/4 cup cold water; mix with your hands until dough forms a ball. (The dough will be sticky.) Cover; set aside.
- NOTE: I had to add a little bit more water than posted; go by the look and feel.
- For filling, stir together hoisin and cornstrach in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in finely diced bok choy, carrot, finely sliced green onion, cilantro and salt. Add ground beef; mix well. Using about 1 tablespoon of the filling for each, shape filling into 30 balls. Set aside.
- NOTE: I used an egg ring to form the wraps; made it easier for filling.
- Divide dough in half. Return one portion to the bowl; cover and set aside. Divide the other portion into 15 balls. On a well-floured surface, roll each dough ball into a 3-inch circle. Place a meatball in the center of each circle. Fold the dough up and around all but the top of the meatball, pleating dough firmly. Gently flatten the bottom of each dumpling. Repeat with remaining dough and meatballs to make 30 dumplings total.
- NOTE: Keep a moistened towel over the wontons so they do not dry out while you continue to make the batch.
- Bring water to boiling in a steamer or Dutch oven. Place dumplings, open sides up, on a greased steamer rack; make sure the dumplings don't touch one another. (If all the dumplings won't fit on a steamer rack, refrigerate remainder until ready to steam.) Place rack over, but not touching, boiling water. Cover and steam dumplings for 16 to 18 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Meanwhile, combine rice vinegar and soy sauce. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon thinly sliced green onion. Serve with dumplings.
- NOTE: Used a rice steamer and oil sprayed the top insert each time.

Steps:

- With your hands thoroughly mix together cabbage, ground meat, chives, mushrooms, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and pinch of salt.
- Dry your hands completely (or wrappers will stick). Place a gyoza wrapper on one hand and put 1 teaspoon filling in centre of wrapper.
- Brush edge of half the wrapper with cold water. Make a semi-circle by folding the wrapper in half. Pinch open sides of wrapper together with your fingers and seal the top.
- Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons sesame oil and arrange 20-25 gyoza in pan. Add 200ml water to cover bottom of pan, cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes or until translucent, cooked and no liquid is left in pan. Take off lid and cook for another 30-60 seconds for the bottoms to go crunchy. Cook remaining gyoza or freeze them.

Tips:
- Choose the right beef: For the best results, use a well-marbled cut of beef, such as chuck roast or flank steak. This will ensure that your dumplings are juicy and flavorful.
- Use a sharp knife: When chopping the beef, use a sharp knife to ensure that you get clean, even cuts. This will help the beef to cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the filling: When mixing the filling for the dumplings, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Use a steamer basket: When steaming the dumplings, use a steamer basket that is large enough to hold all of the dumplings in a single layer. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Steam the dumplings for the right amount of time: The steaming time for the dumplings will vary depending on the size of the dumplings. For small dumplings, steam for about 10 minutes. For larger dumplings, steam for about 15 minutes.
Conclusion:
Steamed beef dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are also relatively easy to make, making them a great option for home cooks of all skill levels. With a little practice, you'll be able to make steamed beef dumplings that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite Chinese restaurant.
