Learn to make crispy, juicy, and flavorful pan-fried chicken dumplings at home. This recipe guides you through creating a delicious filling, assembling the dumplings, and achieving the perfect golden-brown, crispy bottom with a tender, steamed top.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Filling: 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded cabbage
  • For Assembly: 35 round dumpling wrappers
  • Small bowl of water (for sealing edges)
  • For Cooking: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil per batch
  • 1/4 cup water per batch (for steaming)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix ground chicken, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, vinegar, green onions, pepper, and cabbage. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Set up dumpling station: Arrange wrappers, filling, and water. Keep wrappers covered with a damp towel.
  3. Fill and seal: Place 1 teaspoon filling in each wrapper, moisten edges, fold into half-moons, and seal tightly. Pleat if desired.
  4. Pan-fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings flat-side down and cook until golden, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Steam: Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam 5–6 minutes until cooked through. Uncover and crisp bottoms again for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove from pan, garnish with scallions or sesame seeds, and serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Avoid overfilling wrappers to prevent leaks.
  • Always seal edges tightly with water to avoid bursting.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan—work in batches for best results.
  • Test one dumpling first to check seasoning before cooking the entire batch.
  • Freeze uncooked dumplings individually, then cook straight from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes steaming.
