INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 large Egg White
2 tbsp Scallions (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Finely chop the chicken breast into small pieces or pulse in a food processor until minced. In a bowl, combine the minced chicken with chopped scallions, cilantro, and grated ginger. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix well.
Prepare the dumpling dough by combining the whole wheat flour with the egg white and a small amount of water if needed. Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle. Spoon a small amount of the chicken and herb filling onto the center of each wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Steam the dumplings in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the dough is tender.
Remove from the steamer and serve the dumplings warm. These dumplings can be enjoyed as a light meal any time of day.
