Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 40 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Prepare a clean work surface and have a small bowl of water nearby. Take one dumpling wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center.
Dip your finger in water and dampen the edges of the wrapper to help seal it. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to form a semi-circle, and press the edges together to seal, making sure there are no air pockets.
Optional: Pleat the edges for a traditional look by making small folds along one side of the wrapper only, pressing each fold to secure it.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet with the flat side down. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the water, then immediately cover the skillet with a lid to steam the dumplings. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.
