Sesame Ginger Chicken Dumplings with Chili Oil
Savor flavorful ground chicken dumplings infused with sesame ginger and soy sauce, perfectly wrapped and ready to be enjoyed.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 24-26 round dumpling or wonton wrappers
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
- 2 tablespoons chili flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, fresh ginger, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Place about 2 teaspoons of the chicken filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing to seal. You can also pleat the edges for a decorative finish.
- To make the chili oil, heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chili flakes and sugar. Let it steep for at least 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the dumplings and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the wrappers are tender.
- Drain the dumplings and gently toss them with the prepared chili oil. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
