Step 1
Mix ground chicken, scallions, ginger, and 1 tbsp soy sauce in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Place 1 tsp filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet edges with water, fold in half, then pinch to seal.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Arrange dumplings flat-side down in the skillet in a single layer. Cook without moving until golden brown, 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
Add 1/4 cup water, cover immediately, and steam for 4 minutes until the water mostly evaporates.
Step 6
Whisk together remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Serve dumplings hot with dipping sauce.
