Ingredients
For the Dough
- 150 gm All-Purpose Flour
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 75 ml Water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped carrot, and chopped onion.
- Add the egg, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the bowl.
- Stir in the light soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, chili oil, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
- Gradually add the water, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic. This develops the gluten, resulting in chewier dumplings.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges firmly to seal. You can create decorative pleats along the edges for a more traditional look.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
- Gently add the dumplings to the boiling water, ensuring they don't stick together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Boil the dumplings for about 15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Remove the cooked dumplings from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or chili garlic sauce.
