Prepare the gelatinous broth: Heat chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it comes to a simmer, stir in gelatin until dissolved. Remove from heat and pour into a shallow dish. Refrigerate until it solidifies, about 1 hour.
Make the filling: Mince chicken thighs and transfer to a large bowl. Finely mince ginger, garlic, and green onions. Add them to the chicken along with gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and ground white pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add chilled gelatin stock as small cubes to the chicken filling and mix gently to incorporate.
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum. Gradually add warm water while stirring to form a dough. Knead until smooth, adding extra flour if necessary to reduce stickiness.
Divide the dough into small balls, about 30 grams each. Roll each ball into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Gently pleat the edges and seal the tops, encasing the filling completely.
Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves. Arrange dumplings in a single layer, giving them space to expand.
Bring water to a boil in a pot that fits your steamer. Place the steamer over the boiling water and steam the dumplings for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked.
Serve hot, being careful with the hot broth inside each dumpling.
