In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, chopped scallions, and cornstarch. Mix until well incorporated.

Lay out dumpling wrappers. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper, moisten edges with water, fold, and pinch tightly to seal.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the dumplings for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Flip gently.

Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Garnish with additional scallions or sesame seeds.

Serve hot with dipping sauces like soy sauce or sriracha mayo.
