Joudsas were my very favorite food growing up. On our birthday's my mom always let us pick what we wanted for dinner, and this is what I chose almost every single year. My mom started making these for my dad shortly after they were married. My dad served an LDS mission in Taiwan, and this is one of the things he liked to eat. Now, these are not super authentic Taiwanese food. they are very Americanized, but that doesn't mean they aren't delicious. They are very similar to pot stickers, but a whole lot less work.
Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Small Onion
1 Pkg. Won Ton Wrapper- They are found in the produce section of most grocery stores.
2. Place a small amount of the meat mixture in the center of the won ton wrapper. Dip your finger tips in a small amount of water and rub it on 2 adjacent sides of the wrapper ( this will help it stick as you fold it over and seal it shut.) Fold the wrapper closed and press the edges together. It's okay it they don't stay totally sealed or if they tear a little bit.
3. Place Joudsas in a steamer, and steam for about 14 minutes.
That looks so good!
