Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams ground chicken
- 4 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons water (for sealing dumplings)
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- 0.25 cup water (for steaming)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the filling.
Prepare a small bowl of water to use for sealing the dumplings.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger or a small brush.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. If desired, pleat the edges for a decorative finish.
Repeat until all the filling is used, placing the finished dumplings on a floured surface or tray to prevent sticking.
To make the dipping sauce, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange half the dumplings in the pan, flat side down, without overcrowding.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms of the dumplings are golden brown.
Add 1/8 cup of water to the skillet, then immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5-6 minutes or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
Uncover and let the remaining water evaporate, letting the bottoms crisp up again for 1-2 minutes if desired.
Remove the cooked dumplings from the skillet and repeat with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil if needed.
Serve the dumplings hot with the balsamic soy dipping sauce on the side.
