The Anova Precision Oven makes steaming a large quantity of dumplings a snap. This recipe for steamed lamb dumplings can be made with ground chicken, beef, pork, or other protein. Notes: This recipe works best when there’s some airflow underneath the dumplings. To do so, the recipe uses a perforated pan, which is now available to order through Anova. If you don't have one, a wooden steamer basket or wire rack placed on a sheet pan will work. No matter the option, you will need a lid. If using a perforated or solid sheet pan, you can cover the dumplings using a 9- by 13-inch cake pan. If you use a wooden steamer basket, you will need to steam the dumplings in batches.

Steps

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan

Rack
Place Asian-style steamer liners on a perforated tray (see note). Alternatively, cut squares of parchment paper to place under each dumpling. (Don’t use a whole sheet of parchment, because it will block the steam from going through the tray.)
Sous Vide Mode: Off
Steam: 100%
Temp: 212°F
Heat: Rear

2. Make Filling

Combine the ground lamb, baby bok choy, soy sauce, scallion, ginger, cumin, and white pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well.

4. Fill Dumplings

Dip your finger into the water and brush the outside edge of one of the wrappers with water. Place a mounded teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch at the top (12 o’clock) to seal.
