THAI CHICKEN DUMPLINGS

INGREDIENTS:

Ground Chicken (1lb)

Won Ton Wrappers (round)

Chives (2 Tbsp)

Ginger (1 Tbsp)

Garlic (1 Clove, minced)

Sesame Seeds (1 Tbsp)

Rice Wine Vinegar (1 tsp)

Pepper (1/8 tsp)

Vegetable Oil (1/2 cup, for frying)

Water (1/2 cup, for steaming)

Sesame Seeds & Chives (for garnishing, optional)

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium-sized bowl make your Thai dumpling filling by adding your ground chicken, chives, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, rice wine vinegar, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with a spoon, or if your like me, hands.

How to make chicken dumplings: put a small amount of water in a bowl and set it aside. This will be how you seal your Thai chicken dumplings together. Using about a 1/2 Tbsp of your filling mixture, place it in the middle of your round won ton wrapper.

Chicken Pleating: Let's start creating our Thai Chicken Dumplings. Dip your finger in the water bowl and circle the very outside edges of your won ton wrapper. (See Video for a visual of how to make chicken dumplings)

1. Fold your circle up in half - pinch the right-hand side outer edge together

2. Then fold the top half over and pinch it to the bottom half - continue doing this until you have pleated your Thai chicken dumpling.

3. Pinch all the plates once more to insure the whole dumpling is sealed and none of the fillings will leak out while frying / steaming.

How I cook my Thai chicken dumplings is a mixture of both frying and steaming them. First, in a shallow frying pan, heat your vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place your dumplings in and fry on all sides for a minute or two. Once you have a nice crisp on them, add your water and cover. Steam your chicken dumplings for approximately 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on them as you don't want them to stick to the bottom of your frying pan. Enjoy with your favourite dipping sauces.
