Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 tsp Black pepper, ground
- 2 Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 24 Round dumpling wrappers
- Water, for sealing wrappers
- 2 tbsp Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves (crushed into small pieces), ground black pepper, chopped green onion, beaten egg, and sesame oil. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
Dip a finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, then press edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired for a decorative finish. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place dumplings in the skillet, flat-side down, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Fry the dumplings until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and wrapper is tender.
Remove the cover and allow any remaining water to evaporate. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp again.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
