Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams ground chicken
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili paste
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 30 pieces dumpling wrappers
- as needed for sealing wrappers water
- as needed cooking oil (optional, for greasing steamer)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha or chili paste, and cornstarch. Mix well until evenly combined.
Set up your workstation: place a small bowl of water, the dumpling wrappers, and the chicken filling nearby.
Take one dumpling wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center. Use your finger to lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a semicircle, pressing the edges together to seal tightly. If desired, pleat the edges for a decorative finish. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil to prevent sticking. Alternatively, use cabbage leaves as a liner.
Place the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent sticking.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and set the steamer over the pot. Cover and steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve immediately with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
