Chickimchi Dumplings Recipe margaretelise
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 handful of kimchi (~1/2 c), drained
- 1-2 green onions, chopped finely
- 1 t toasted sesame oil
- 1 t grated ginger (optional)
- Salt or soy sauce to taste
- 2 dozen wonton wrappers
- Cut the chicken into several large pieces.
- Put into a food processor and mix until ground.
- Add remaining ingredients (except wonton wrappers) and continue to process until everything is combined.
- Season with salt & pepper.
- Fry a bit in a pan if you want to check the seasonings.
- Place about 2 teaspoons of the mixture in the center of a wonton skin.
- Dip a finger in water and run it around one half of the wrapper, then fold in half (if using round wrappers, otherwise, fold square wrapper diagonally) and seal the edges.
- Place completed wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Put completed tray in freezer for 5 minutes and boil a pot of water or chicken broth (for soup).
- Add dumplings in batches to boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes.
- I always test one first to make sure the chicken is cooked throughit always is.
- Serve with a dish containing soy sauce and a dash each of rice (or white) vinegar and sesame oil (or seeds).
- As a soup, add some chopped scallions, soy sauce & rice vinegar to the broth.
- Korean rice cakes (ddok) are also great).
- Leftover mandu can be frozen fully, flat on the baking tray, then put into a bag or other container and frozen.
- Note on the dumpling wrappers: I buy them frozen and let them sit out for about 30 min-1 hour before starting.
- If necessary, put them in the microwave (still stacked) on low in 30 sec intervals... the may lose the top one but the rest should be ok. Work in batches of 4: peel 4 wrappers off the stack, then place a very slightly damp paper towel over the rest while you work.
- When cooking frozen dumplings, never defrost them first or they will get mushy and stick together.
