Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons Tamari sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt together.
Make a well in the center and crack the egg into it. Add the water and olive oil, then whisk the egg with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour mixture to form a dough.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling by combining the ground chicken, green onions, ginger, garlic, grated carrot, tamari sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 1/4 inch thick sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Use a round cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Repeat rolling and cutting with the remaining dough.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam the dumplings for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the filling is cooked through.
Serve the dumplings hot, with additional tamari sauce for dipping if desired.
