Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and warm water to form a dough. Knead until smooth, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix together the ground beef, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. After resting, divide the dough into 10 small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
4. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
