Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams Green cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 30 Wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and carrot, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

Thinly slice the green onions.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, green onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then press the edges to seal the dumpling.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the prepared dumplings under a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Carefully arrange the dumplings in the skillet, making sure they do not touch each other.

Step 9

Fry the dumplings for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms start to brown.

Step 10

Carefully pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover it with a lid to steam the dumplings.

Step 11

Cook the dumplings for about 5 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Step 12

Remove the lid and let the dumplings fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are crispy and golden brown.

Step 13

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
