Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 lb circular dumpling wrapper
- 2 cups napa cabbage, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 inch ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp white pepper
- Serve with: dumpling dipping sauce
- green onions
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add napa cabbage and salt to a bowl and toss to evenly coat. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture then rinse off the salt and squeeze to release excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, make the filling by mixing together ground chicken, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chicken bouillon, and white pepper. Pan fry a small piece of the filling, taste test, and adjust to your liking as needed before folding.
- To fold the dumplings, wet the edge of a circular dumpling wrapper. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Then fold it in half and with the front half only, make 3 pleats towards the middle, push in the end, and repeat on the other side. Pinch the top to seal. Keep the dumpling wrappers and folded dumplings covered with a damp towel so they don’t dry out while you’re folding the remaining dumplings.
- To cook the potstickers, add a drizzle of oil to a non-stick pan on medium heat and about 10 dumplings depending on the size of your pan (do not overcrowd). Sear dumplings for 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Then add just enough water to cover the pan and steam covered for 5 minutes.
- You can cook all of the dumplings or freeze them. To freeze, lay the uncooked dumplings flat on a wax sheet or plastic wrap lined sheet pan or plate so they don’t touch and stick to each other. Place in the freezer until they are hard then transfer to a container or bag to save freezer space.
- Serve the chicken potstickers with a dumpling dipping sauce, green onions, sesame seeds, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to not overcrowd the pan while cooking the dumplings for even browning.
- Freezing uncooked dumplings helps maintain their shape and texture.
