Minced meat for dumplings

The most important thing in pelmeni is the filling. Of course, you can make things easier for yourself and buy minced meat for pelmeni in the store. But no one will make it better than you yourself. To prepare homemade minced meat, we chose two types of meat - pork and beef, so that the taste of the filling for pelmeni would be more intense. And a little life hack: the minced meat will turn out tender, but at the same time quite dense if you add a little meat broth to it.

Place the meat grinder blades in ice water for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Minced meat for dumplings - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute beef with pork, chicken, turkey, or even a mix of meats for different flavors and textures.
The minced meat filling can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to mix it well before use.
Absolutely! Replace the meat with finely chopped mushrooms, lentils, or crumbled tofu, and use vegetable broth instead of meat broth.
Chilling the blades helps keep the meat cold during grinding, which improves texture, but if you're short on time, you can skip this step.
Yes, the filling freezes well. Portion it into freezer bags, remove excess air, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using.
Serve dumplings with soy sauce, chili oil, or a dipping sauce of your choice. Pair them with steamed veggies or a light salad for a complete meal.
Yes, preparing the filling a day ahead enhances the flavors. Just store it in the fridge and give it a good mix before assembling dumplings.
Feel free to tweak the spices—add ginger, garlic, or chili flakes for extra heat. Start with small amounts and adjust to your preference.
