Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 50 grams Cabbage (finely shredded)
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 200 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 50 milliliters Water (for sealing dumplings)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated carrot, and shredded cabbage. Mix until evenly combined.
Prepare a small dish of water to use for sealing the dumplings.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle, then press the edges tightly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
Pleat or crimp the edges for decoration if desired, then set aside. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of wrapper in; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the dumplings in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fried dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or gyoza dipping sauce.
