Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 2 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 3 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 40 pieces Dumpling wrappers
• 1 cup Water (for sealing wrappers)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for pan-frying)
• 0.25 cup Water (for steaming in pan-frying method)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, green onions, and shredded cabbage. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2

Prepare a clean surface to assemble dumplings. Place one dumpling wrapper in your palm and add about 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dip your finger in the cup of water and lightly wet the edges of the dumpling wrapper.

Step 4

Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly together to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for a decorative finish. Repeat until all filling is used.

Step 5

To cook the dumplings, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Place the dumplings flat-side down in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for 5-6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the wrappers are fully cooked.

Step 8

Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.

Step 9

Repeat the frying and steaming process for the remaining dumplings, as necessary.

Step 10

Serve the chicken black pepper dumplings hot with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.
