Step 1
Mix ground chicken with ginger, scallions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
Step 2
Place 1 tsp filling in center of each wonton wrapper. Wet edges with water, fold in half, then bring corners together and press to seal.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches, add dumplings flat-side down and cook without moving for 3 minutes until bottoms are deep golden brown.
Step 5
Flip each dumpling, add a splash of water to the skillet, cover, and steam for 2 minutes until filling is cooked through.
Step 6
Whisk remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce with sesame oil and serve as dipping sauce alongside dumplings.
