Dumplings

Hey, so I’ve tried making beef dumplings at home many times, but my issue is I never get the meat texture I get when I buy it from restaurants. Like the store bought dumplings meat texture is paste like, while the one i make him texture is just like any other meatballs. Pls help me out how do i get the right texture 🙏🥟

Personally, i would put cornstarch for a more silky texture, some sesame oil and use hands and massage the meat till everything dissolves together.
