This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the beef was very flavorful and the dumplings were light and fluffy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I used a flank steak and it turned out very tender. The dumplings were also very good. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dumplings turned out dense and gummy. The beef was also a bit tough. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.
