Description
Delicious chicken dumplings filled with savory chicken and gelatin broth, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup hot water
- 1 pound ground chicken (or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (for richer broth)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
- Add the gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set (at least 1 hour).
- In a large mixing bowl, gradually combine the flour and hot water, mixing until it forms a dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, blend ground chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and pepper, mixing until fully combined.
- Roll the dough into a log and cut into small pieces (about the size of a walnut).
- Flatten each piece into a circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place a tablespoon of chicken filling in the center, followed by a small piece or spoonful of the set broth.
- Carefully pleat the edges, sealing the dumpling at the top.
- Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper and arrange the dumplings inside, ensuring they’re not touching.
- Steam over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure the dumplings are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking during steaming.
- You can substitute the ground chicken with ground turkey if preferred.
