Ingredients

Chicken Dumplings

  • round dumpling or wonton wrappers, such as Gefen

  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil (for pan-frying)

  • 1/4 cup water, plus another 1/4 cup as needed

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallions

Directions

Prepare the Chicken Dumplings

1.

In a bowl, mix the ground chicken with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and scallions until fully combined.

2.

In a wide, deep pot, add three tablespoons of oil and spread evenly across the bottom.

3.

Working with one wrapper at a time, place about 1/2 to 3/4 tablespoon of filling in the center. Press and lift the edges of the wrapper up around the filling so it forms an open pouch. The filling stays exposed on top and there is no sealing.

4.

Place each dumpling into the pan, chicken side facing up. They do not need to be tightly packed, but can sit next to each other and lightly touch.

5.

Continue assembling and placing all dumplings in the pan first. Do not turn on the heat until the pan is filled.

6.

Once all dumplings are arranged, turn the flame on to medium heat and cook for a few minutes until the bottoms begin to turn lightly golden.

7.

Carefully pour in 1/4 cup water and immediately cover the pot to steam. Allow to steam covered for three minutes or so, then add another 1/4 cup water and cover to steam again another three minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the wrapper has softened.

8.

Uncover the pot. Once the water has evaporated, drizzle sesame oil around the pan. Continue cooking uncovered until the bottoms become crisp and golden. Gently shake the pan to help them brown evenly.

9.

Remove from heat, and top with sesame seeds and extra sliced scallions. Serve hot with dipping sauce (see below) drizzled over or on the side.

Tips:

Reheating tip:
Re-crisp leftovers by adding a small drizzle of oil to a pan and heating over medium heat until the bottoms are crispy again.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce

1.

Mix soy sauce or coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and scallions until well combined. Serve with dumplings.
