Asian Chicken Dumplings with Soy Dipping Sauce
Description
The dumpling filling combines ground chicken with finely processed cabbage, carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, chili, and green onion, blended with soy sauce for seasoning. The dough is created by gradually mixing hot water and flour with salt, kneading to form a smooth ball. This dough is divided and rolled into small wrappers.
Each wrapper is filled with about one teaspoon of the chicken mixture, then carefully folded and sealed to encase the filling. The dumplings can then be cooked by steaming, boiling, or pan-frying according to preference. The accompanying soy dipping sauce blends salty, sweet, sour, and spicy elements with aromatics and sesame oil to complement the dumplings’ flavor.
This dish offers a balanced, homemade approach to Asian-style dumplings, highlighting the fresh filling and soft, chewy dough paired with a flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 800 g ground chicken (minced chicken)
- 100 g cabbage
- 80 g carrot
- 40 g celery
- 1 cm ginger (about 1/2 inch)
- 1 Chili pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 bunch green onion
- 60 ml soy sauce
For the dough:
- 600 g all-purpose flour
- 420 ml water hot
- 2 g salt
Soy Dipping Sauce:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 garlic
- 0.5 cm ginger (about 1/4 inch)
- 1 green onion
- 1/2 Chili pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Clean the ginger, garlic and chili and chop finely in a blender with a little soy sauce.
- Clean the cabbage, carrots and celery and put them through a blender or a fine grater, then mix with the ground chicken meat, ginger, garlic and chili paste, finely chopped green onion and soy sauce.
- For the dough, boil 420 ml (1 3/4 cups) of water and place the flour and salt in a food processor.
- When the water is boiling, start the food processor on low speed and slowly add the water. Gradually increase the speed to maximum, and allow the dough to mix until it all binds together.
- Then take the dough and knead it by hand for about 1 minute to make sure it is homogeneous. Shape the dough into a ball and cut it into 8 equal pieces.
- Cut each of the pieces into 8 more pieces and form balls by rolling between your palms, then flatten them in your palm.
- Shape each piece into a round with a small knife, add about 1 teaspoon of the filling and close up the dumpling into the desired shape.
- The dumplings can be cooked directly or stored in the freezer.
- For storage, first put in the freezer on a tray, and once completely frozen, place them into zip lock bags or boxes.
- When ready to cook them, heat a pan with a lid well and add a little oil.
- Add the dumplings with the bottom down and pour 1 glass of cold water over them, then cover the pan with the lid and let them simmer over medium-high heat until the water has completely evaporated and the dumplings begin to brown.
- For the dipping sauce, chop the ginger with garlic and chili in a blender, then mix it with soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, vinegar, and sesame oil and add chopped green onions.
