Ingredients

• 200 grams Ground chicken breast
• 1 cup Green cabbage
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Ginger root
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 0 Cooking spray
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green cabbage and green onions. Peel and mince the ginger root and garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken breast, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Using your finger, moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, or to create a pleated edge if desired. Press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 6

Add dumplings to the pan without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary) and fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Once the bottoms are browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Allow them to steam for about 4-5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 8

Remove the lid and let any remaining moisture completely dissipate, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve dumplings warm, with additional soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce, if desired.
