Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 40 wonton wrappers
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup water (for steaming)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce (for dipping)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (for dipping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper.
Dip your finger into the 0.25 cup of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for a decorative finish.
Repeat until all the filling is used and the dumplings are prepared.
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the dumplings in the pan in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch each other.
Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 0.5 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 6-7 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until any remaining water evaporates and the bottoms crisp up again.
Repeat the process in batches if necessary.
In a small bowl, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing 0.25 cup of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar.
Serve the chicken dumplings hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
