Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (about 50) round dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
- Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm. Add about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture to the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. You can create pleats on one side for a decorative look.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, flat-side down, without overcrowding.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Pour water into the skillet. Cover immediately and reduce heat to medium.
- Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
- Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the bottoms to crisp up again.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- You can use store-bought or homemade dumpling wrappers.
- If you don’t have sesame oil, you can substitute with another oil, but sesame oil adds a unique flavor.
- Serve with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil for dipping.
