Ingredients

For the dough:
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of water
For the filling:
  • 1 pound of ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • 1/4 cup of chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
For the dipping sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preparing the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and water. Mix until the dough forms. 2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. 3. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Preparing the Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, scallions, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well. 2. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Assembling the Dumplings

1. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll out each portion into a thin circle. 2. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. 3. Fold the dough in half and pinch the edges together to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Steaming the Dumplings

1. Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. 2. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching. 3. Steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through and the dough is translucent. 4. Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce.
