📝 Preparation Steps
1
Dumplings
2
Make filling: Add ground chicken, cabbage, green onion, ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil to a large bowl. Mix to combine.
ground chicken12 ouncescabbage, thinly shredded1 cupginger, minced1 tspdark soy sauce1 tbspsesame oil1 tsp
3
Divide the mixture among the wrappers. Typically takes about 28 of so wrappers depending on how much filling you put in each. I like to do about 1/2 tablespoon into each.
4
Fold dumplings: Brush the edges of the wrapper with water. (This helps it stick together.)Use a dumpling maker to press the edges together or fold the wrapper and pleat the edges with your hands.
5
Pan fry dumplings: Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a pan and sauté dumplings for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Add in some water (about 3-4 tablespoons) and place a lid over the pan to steam. They should be done once all of the water is absorbed. You can let them sit in the pan for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes after to recrisp the bottoms. Set aside while you assemble the salad.
