Asian Chicken Dumplings (Two Ways)
- 1/2 pounds Ground Chicken
- 1/2 cups Diced Green Cabbage
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Green Onion, Roughly Chopped
- 4 dashes Fish Sauce
- 18 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Minced Fresh Ginger
- 16 pieces Dumpling Or Wonton Wrappers, Or A Few More As Needed
- Cabbage Leaves For The Bamboo Steamer
- 1 Tablespoon Cooking Oil, For Pan Frying Method
- Add ground chicken, cabbage, green onion, fish sauce, pepper, garlic, soy sauce and ginger into a food processor and process until ground.
- Divide the mixture among the wrappers placing it in the center of each.
- A batch of filling typically takes about 16-20 wrappers depending on how much filling you put in each.
- I like to do about 1/2 tablespoon each.
- Brush all four 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.
- For the steam method: Add about 1 to 2 inches of water into the bottom of your pan or wok.
- Make sure not to submerge the bottom layer of the steamer with water.
- Bring the water to a simmer.
- Layering the steamer basket will cabbage leaves will help prevent the dumplings from sticking.
- Add in dumplings and cook for about 10 minutes until they are fully cooked.
- Discard cabbage and serve immediately.
- For the pan-fried method: Add the oil into a pan and saute dumplings for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
- Add 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.
- Serve immediately.
