Chicken Dumplings Recipe
320kcal
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup hot water
Filling
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely shredded cabbage
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup chicken broth
Equipment
- non-stick skillet
- Rolling Pin
Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough rests, make the filling by combining the ground chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and shredded cabbage in a large bowl. Mix with your hands or a fork until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions. Roll one portion into a long rope about 1 inch thick, then cut it into 1-inch pieces. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece into a 3-inch round wrapper, keeping the remaining dough covered to prevent drying.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges firmly to seal, creating a half-moon shape. Ensure there are no air pockets and the edges are completely closed.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the skillet, then immediately cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 2 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to evaporate and the bottoms to re-crisp. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
