Steamed Dumplings with Chicken

Steamed Dumplings with Chicken are a delightful and authentic Chinese dish, perfect for a light yet satisfying lunch. These tender dumplings are filled with seasoned chicken and vegetables, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Ground chicken - 150 grams
• Cabbage, finely chopped - 50 grams
• Green onions, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and water to form a dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In another bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions (about 20 grams each) and roll each portion into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
5. Prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Steam for about 15-20 minutes.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
