Cabbage Wrapped Beef Shumai

Servings:
1 Protein
2 Vegetables

Suitable for all Freedom and FastTrack meal plans

Ingredients:
1 cup Cabbage Leaves
1 serving Ground Beef
½ cup Zucchini, shredded and pressed free of excess liquid
2 Green Onions, root removed and minced
1 tsp. fresh grated Ginger
¼ tsp. Salt-Free Chinese Five Spice Blend

Preparation:
Place the cabbage leaves in a pot, fill it with warm water, and bring it to a boil. Turn heat down to a low boil with lid still on and continue cooking until leaves become soft.

Place leaves in a colander, rinse with cook water, and use either towels or a salad spinner to get rid of excess water.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Layer a bamboo steamer with a circle of parchment paper or a plate.

Then, place a leaf in your hand molding it into a cup-like shape. Fill the middle with the beef mixture. Press into the meat as you close up the cabbage leaf so they stick to each other, folding the top edges together like a gathered coin purse. Nestle it in the bamboo steamer. Continue until all of the meat mixture has been used.

Fill the bottom of your wok with water and place steamer into the wok (it should not be touching the shumai). Bring the water to a simmer and cook until beef is fully cooked, 25 minutes.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
