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 chicken filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold into a triangle, then bring the two corners together.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches, pan-fry dumplings flat-side down until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes without moving.
Step 5
Flip dumplings and cook another 2 minutes until the other side is light brown and filling is cooked through.
Step 6
Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together. Serve dumplings with sauce for dipping.
