Crispy-bottomed chicken dumplings filled with juicy, savory goodness and pan-fried to golden perfection. Easy to make, freeze, and enjoy!
1 lb ground chicken (preferably dark meat)
1 cup Napa cabbage, finely chopped and squeezed dry
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp white pepper
30–35 round dumpling wrappers
1–2 tbsp oil for frying
¼ cup water (per batch)
In a large bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and pepper.
Place 1 tsp of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet edges and fold in half, pleating if desired, to seal.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add dumplings flat-side down in a single layer.
Fry for 2–3 minutes until bottoms are golden brown. Add ¼ cup water, cover, and steam for 6–7 minutes.
Remove lid and cook another 1–2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
