Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
- 500 ml chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 pieces green onions
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 24 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Finely mince the boneless, skinless chicken breast and place it into a large mixing bowl.
Grate the ginger and finely chop the garlic cloves. Add these to the chicken mixture along with sliced green onions.
Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes until slightly reduced.
Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the simmering broth. Cook until the broth thickens and coats the back of a spoon, then remove from heat.
Allow the thickened broth to cool slightly, then combine it with the chicken mixture. Mix well until fully integrated and the filling becomes cohesive.
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water and carefully bring the edges up to the center, pleating as you go to form a pouch and seal the top.
Prepare a steamer lined with parchment paper (poke some holes in it for steam circulation) and place the dumplings inside, ensuring they are not touching.
Bring water to a boil in the bottom compartment of the steamer. Steam the dumplings for about 12-15 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Serve the steamed dumplings hot, optionally with a side of low-sodium soy sauce or vinegar for dipping. Enjoy your low-fat chicken soup dumplings!
