Instructions

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add chopped spring onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the ground beef to the skillet.
5
Season the beef with white pepper, sesame oil, Chinese cooking wine, and soy sauce.
6
Break up the beef with a spoon and mix everything together. Cook until the beef is fully browned.
7
While the beef cooks, bring a separate pot of water to a boil.
8
Once the beef is cooked, add the finely shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine.
9
Add the wonton wrappers to the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until tender.
10
Using tongs, transfer the cooked wonton wrappers from the pot to the skillet, layering them over the beef mixture.

Drizzle with chili oil and garnish with additional sliced spring onions before serving.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Finely chop mushrooms so they cook quickly and distribute evenly throughout the beef filling without creating large chunks.
Brown the ground beef thoroughly over medium-high heat to develop flavor before adding aromatics.
Add wonton wrappers gently to avoid breaking them; they'll become tender as they cook and float to the surface.
Drizzle chili oil just before serving to preserve its heat and flavor rather than cooking it into the dish.

Substitutions

Ground pork or ground turkey → Ground beef (use same weight; adjust soy sauce to taste)
White pepper → Black pepper (milder flavor; use same amount)
Chinese cooking wine → Dry sherry or mirin (1 tbsp each as direct swap)
Fresh mushrooms → Dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated (use ½ cup dried, soak 15 minutes, chop)
