You’ll need:

● 200gms beef mince

● 1 tbsp. crushed garlic

● 1 tsp. crushed ginger

● 3 tbsp. coriander, finely chopped

● 1 tsp. cumin powder

● ½ tsp. chili flakes

● ¼ onion, finely chopped

● 2 cubes of frozen spinach

● Salt and pepper to taste

● 1 packet of slendier lasagna

To Make:

1. Thaw frozen spinach in a microwave, and then squeeze all the excess water out with your hands or using a clean chux.
2. Wash and rinse the lasagna sheets and set aside for the water to drain.
3. Combine all mince, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin powder, chili flakes, onion, spinach, salt and pepper in a bowl and roll into 8 small balls.
4. Wrap each individual ball in lasagna sheet by placing meat at one end then rolling until it reaches the other end.
5. To cook, place dumplings in a hot pan (must be very hot), making sure the loose end of the dumpling is placed down first. (This is important, as this is what seals them together).
6. Leave for 2 minutes, then slowly turn the dumplings so all sides are browned.
7. Serve with 2 tbsp. soy sauce or fish sauce
8. Garnish with crushed chilies and coriander leaves.
