Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 40 pieces dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2
Prepare a clean work surface and have a small bowl of water nearby. Take one dumpling wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center.
Step 3
Dip your finger in water and dampen the edges of the wrapper to help seal it. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to form a semi-circle, and press the edges together to seal, making sure there are no air pockets.
Step 4
Optional: Pleat the edges for a traditional look by making small folds along one side of the wrapper only, pressing each fold to secure it.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet with the flat side down. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Pour in the water, then immediately cover the skillet with a lid to steam the dumplings. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.
