Steamed Dumpling Bowls with Yuzu Hot Salt
Five minutes of prep, layer, steam, drizzle, devour. These steamed dumpling bowls pack all the flavor of hand-folded dumplings into a simple layered ramekin — no wrapping skills required. Seasoned beef, Napa cabbage, and wonton wrappers come together fast, and a finish of Firecracker Farm Yuzu Hot Salt brings bright citrus heat to every bite.
