  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 50 dumplings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cups napa cabbage, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-inch ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 lb circular dumpling wrappers
  • Dumpling dipping sauce
  • Green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Napa Cabbage: Place chopped napa cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse the cabbage and squeeze out any excess water.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chicken bouillon, and white pepper. Pan fry a small amount of the filling to taste-test and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  3. Fold the Dumplings: Wet the edge of a circular dumpling wrapper with water. Add a small spoonful of filling in the center. Fold the wrapper in half, creating pleats on one side, and pinch the top to seal. Repeat with the remaining dumplings. Keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
  4. Cook the Potstickers: Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place about 10 dumplings (depending on pan size) in the pan and sear for 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden. Add just enough water to cover the pan, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.
  5. Freezing Option: Lay uncooked dumplings on a wax paper-lined sheet pan, ensuring they don’t touch. Freeze until firm, then transfer to a container or bag for easy storage.
  6. Serve: Serve the dumplings hot with a dipping sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes to the filling or dipping sauce.
  • You can use store-bought dumpling wrappers or make your own for an extra touch.
  • These dumplings freeze beautifully, so make a double batch for later!
