Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground chicken, ginger, scallions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon 1 tsp filling into each dumpling wrapper, wet the edge with water, fold into a half-moon, and press to seal.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange dumplings flat-side down in the skillet in a single layer and cook without moving for 3 minutes until bottoms are golden.

  5. Step 5

    Add 1/4 cup water, cover with a lid, and steam for 5 minutes until water nearly evaporates and dumplings are cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Whisk remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce with rice vinegar. Serve dumplings hot with dipping sauce on the side.
