Chinese Chicken Dumplings image

These tasty treats are commonly served as an appetizer or snack in China. I've adapted this recipe from one I found for pork combined with the tips my best friend's mother (who is from Taiwan) taught me about Chinese cooking.

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chicken breast, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 green onion, finely sliced
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
24 wonton wrappers
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and stir fry in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Let cool until warm.
  • In a bowl, combine chicken with remainder of soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, oyster sauce and sesame seeds.
  • Put a small amount of the mixture into each wonton wrapper and fold diagonally. Putting a little bit of water on the edges helps seal them, but it often takes a bit of pressing. Make sure they are sealed so that the sauce doesn't leak out.
  • Put the chicken broth and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Drop the wonton parcels into the saucepan and boil for 3-5 mins (they will look like cooked noodles when they are done). Only put a few in at a time so they are not touching as they tend to stick together.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and serve warm with soy sauce to dip.
