👩🍳 How to Make Pan-Fried Chicken Dumplings
1. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and optional veggies until well combined.
2. Fill the Dumplings
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.
Moisten the edges with a little water, then fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges tightly to seal. You can pleat the edges for a traditional look.
