Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 4 pieces Garlic clove
- 2 pieces Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 piece Egg
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, black peppercorns, and chopped green onions. Mix until well incorporated.
Add one beaten egg to the chicken mixture and mix thoroughly to bind the filling.
Take a dumpling wrapper and place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold over to create a half-moon shape, and press edges together firmly to seal.
Continue filling and sealing the rest of the dumpling wrappers until all filling is used.
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Arrange dumplings in a single layer in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Pour in 1 cup of water and cover immediately to steam the dumplings.
Let the dumplings steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and allow dumplings to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
