Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 cup Green cabbage
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 3 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, minced Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, cabbage, carrot, green onions, garlic, ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
Step 2
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about one teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Step 3
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal. Ensure that there are no air bubbles.
Step 4
Bring the two outer corners of the triangle together over the filling, overlapping them slightly, and pinch together to form a dumpling. Repeat until all wrappers and filling are used.
Step 5
In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Step 6
Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 7
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and let the dumplings steam for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is cooked through and the water has mostly evaporated.
Step 8
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are crispy again.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with additional low-sodium soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
