Beef + Lamb New Zealand

Tender Chinese beef dumplings are packed with flavour that the whole family will love. The combination of savoury broth, soft rice noodles and crunchy vibrant vegetables is a well balanced dish that everyone will happily tuck into.

If you have any leftover filling, you can easily use it in another meal – a quick mince on toast would work well or tossed through leftover rice for the ultimate beef fried rice.

Pro tip: dumplings freeze really well for easy future meals. Make a double batch, line a baking tray with non stick paper and place the second batch on. Freeze for an hour or so and then put into a free-flow freezer bag.

These Chinese beef dumplings are a firm family favourite that are also freezer friendly.
