INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
60g Whole Wheat Flour
50g Shredded Napa Cabbage
10g Fresh Mixed Herbs
20g Scallions
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Finely dice the chicken breast and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced chicken until fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with enough water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes, then cover and let rest while you prepare the filling.
In another bowl, mix the cooked chicken with shredded napa cabbage, chopped fresh mixed herbs, and thinly sliced scallions.
Roll the dough into a thin sheet on a floured surface and cut into circular wrappers (about 3-4 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of the chicken and herb filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Prepare a steamer basket and fill a pot with a couple of inches of water. Once the water is simmering, place the dumplings in the basket, ensuring they don't touch.
Steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until the wrappers are tender and the filling is heated through.
Serve warm, optionally accompanied by a light dipping sauce of your choice.
