Chicken Pot Stickers

Submitted by MarraMamba

"These are a nice change from the more standard beef or pork potstickers, the home made dough is easier than pie (crust that is). Serve with your favorite asian dipping sauce or plain soy sauce."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 12 dumplings

ingredients

• Dough

• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• boiling water

• Filling

• 4 ounces ground chicken
• 4 water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon gingerroot, grated
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1⁄2 cup oil (for frying)

directions

1. Dough:

2. Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and fill with vegetable oil and approximately 4 tablespoons boiling water. With a wooden spoon, stir until smooth, adding more boiling water as necessary. Knead about 5 minutes, until elastic. Cover and allow to sit 30 minutes.
3. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6 inch circle.
4. Thoroughly mix the filling ingredients together (except the oil for frying)
5. Heat oil in a large skillet. Place approximately 1 tablespoon chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold over mixture and press edges together to seal. In small batches, cook in the hot oil until bottoms are golden brown. Place approximately 1/3 cup water in the pan. Cover and continue cooking approximately 5 minutes, until surfaces of the dumplings are well steamed. Serve immediately.

I thought these were REALLY good and my husband LOVED them....personally I thought it was just a little too much dough, so next time I'll just make them smaller and more. Probably could get 16-18 at 6", so at 3" it would double. Other than that fantastic recipe and thanks for posting!

Oh YUMM YUMM. Steamed dumplings have become my new obsession. This recipe was sure to please. I omited the oil in the dough and did not fry mine. I steamed them in my elec steamer. The flavor is wonderful. I used ground ginger instead of the grated, and I didn't have 5 spice so I used a pinch each of cinnamon, cloves, garlic and cayenne pepper. Fantastic and these really are easy.

I replaced the chicken with beef and left out the spice powder and it was AWESOME! I put these in some soup and it was great! thanks

We are HUGE steamed dumpling fans and these are simply great! I thought the dough was spot on, and it became tender and silky when steamed. The filling was very flavourful, and I got to use up the 5-spice powder I had made up earlier today. A definite keeper.
