Chicken and Herb Dumplings
These dumplings are a perfect mix of tender chicken and fragrant herbs, all wrapped in a soft dumpling dough. They’re sure to become a favorite in your household!
### Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 pound ground chicken
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, or green onions)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by making the dumpling dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until the dough comes together. Knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, prepare the filling: In another bowl, mix the ground chicken, fresh herbs, soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.
- Once the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle. You can use a rolling pin for this or a pasta machine if you have one.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, and consider crimping the edges for a decorative touch.
- Now it’s time to cook the dumplings! You can steam them in a bamboo steamer for about 15 minutes or boil them in salted water until they float. If you prefer a crispy texture, pan-fry them first for a few minutes on each side, then add a bit of water and cover to steam.
- Serve the dumplings hot, with a side of soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your homemade Chicken and Herb Dumplings with family and friends!
