Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Ground chicken breast
- 100 grams Firm tofu
- 50 grams Shelled edamame
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, crumbled tofu, and edamame beans. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until well incorporated.
Add the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sesame oil, and salt to the protein mixture. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Lay a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and place about one tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger or a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling and press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Sprinkle a little flour on a tray and place finished dumplings on it to prevent sticking.
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot.
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Boil the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface and the filling is fully cooked.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot, with additional soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
