Noodle Dumplings

Noodle Dumplings are a delightful fusion of chewy pasta and savory fillings, offering a satisfying bite that's both comforting and flavorful. This kosher version combines fresh ingredients and traditional seasonings for a truly authentic experience.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground chicken - 150 grams
• Chopped green onions - 30 grams
• Minced garlic - 1 clove
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (for dusting)
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle (about 10 cm in diameter) on a floured surface.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly. You can also crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings and fry for about 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Add 100 ml of water to the skillet, cover, and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate for a minute.
7. Serve hot with additional soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
