Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Lean ground chicken
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 24 pieces Dumpling wrappers (low-calorie)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- for sealing Water
Instructions
Finely chop the green onions, carrot, cabbage, and garlic. Peel and grate the ginger.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped green onions, carrot, cabbage, garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
Take one dumpling wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling, pressing to seal the edges. You can pleat the edges for a decorative touch, if desired.
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
To steam the dumplings, line a steamer basket with parchment paper and place the dumplings in a single layer. Make sure they do not touch each other. Steam over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through.
Alternatively, to boil the dumplings, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches and cook for 5-6 minutes until they float to the top and the filling is cooked.
Serve the dumplings hot, with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
