Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground chicken
- 30 grams Fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 50 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying, if preferred)
- Chili sauce or soy dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped coriander, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place one dumpling wrapper on a flat surface and spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling into the center of the wrapper.
Using your finger, wet the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semi-circle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. You can pleat the edges for an attractive finish, if desired.
Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers, arranging the finished dumplings on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
To cook the dumplings, you can choose from two methods: steaming or pan-frying.
For steaming: Fill a steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Place the dumplings on a parchment-lined steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other, and steam for 8–10 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
For pan-frying: Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, flat-side down, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and steam for an additional 5–6 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
Remove the cooked dumplings from the steamer or skillet and serve immediately with chili sauce or soy dipping sauce on the side.
