Begin by preparing the chicken broth: In a saucepan, place 500 grams of chicken thighs and cover with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the broth, shred the meat, and set aside. Strain the broth into a bowl to remove any impurities.
Measure 1 cup of the broth and while it's still hot, stir in 1 tablespoon of gelatin until fully dissolved. Pour the broth into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the dumpling dough: In a large bowl, add 300 grams of all-purpose flour. Gradually pour in 150 milliliters of boiling water, stirring with chopsticks or a fork until the mixture forms small clumps.
Add 60 milliliters of cold water into the dough and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Mix well.
Chop the gelled stock into small cubes and fold it into the chicken mixture along with 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions and 0.5 teaspoon white pepper.
Roll the rested dough into a log and divide it into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then into a thin circle of about 3 inches in diameter.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully pleat the edges and pinch them together at the top to seal.
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the basket, leaving some space between them.
Bring water to a boil in a pot, place the steamer on top, cover, and steam over high heat for about 8-10 minutes.
Serve the chicken soup dumplings hot with a side of rice vinegar for dipping.
