Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground chicken with ginger, scallions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and a pinch of salt until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tsp chicken filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold into a triangle, then bring the two corners together.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Working in batches, pan-fry dumplings flat-side down until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes without moving.

  5. Step 5

    Flip dumplings and cook another 2 minutes until the other side is light brown and filling is cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together. Serve dumplings with sauce for dipping.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (12-inch)
