Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 0.5 pound Ground chicken
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 unit Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and gradually add water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix ground chicken, cabbage, carrot, green onion, garlic, and ginger together.

Step 3

Add low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, black pepper, and the beaten egg to the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

After the dough has rested, knead it slightly and divide into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long log and cut each log into 10 pieces to make a total of 40 pieces.

Step 5

Roll each small piece into a ball and then flatten it into a 3-inch circle using a rolling pin. Keep the edges thinner than the center.

Step 6

Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling, then pinch and pleat the edges to seal the dumpling.

Step 7

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the dumplings, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Boil the dumplings for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is cooked through and the dumplings float to the surface.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce.
