Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 12 oz ground chicken, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 3 finely chopped scallions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated and slightly sticky.
  2. Step 2: Place one dumpling wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 tbsp of the chicken filling into the center.
  3. Step 3: Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal, pleating if desired. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the dumplings in a single layer on parchment paper inside a bamboo steamer.
  5. Step 5: Fill a wok or large pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Place the bamboo steamer over the boiling water, cover, and steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
  6. Step 6: Serve hot with soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.
