Crispy-bottomed pan-fried chicken dumplings packed with savory chicken, cabbage, and aromatic herbs. A perfect choice for weeknight dinners or make-ahead freezer meals.
1 lb ground chicken
1 cup finely chopped cabbage (squeezed dry)
2 scallions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
30 round dumpling wrappers
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Combine chicken, cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix well.
Place 1 tbsp filling in each wrapper. Wet the edges, fold in half, and seal securely.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high. Arrange dumplings flat-side down.
Fry for 2–3 minutes until bottoms are golden.
Pour in water, cover, and steam for 5–6 minutes.
Remove lid and let dumplings cook for 1–2 more minutes to re-crisp.
Serve hot with dipping sauce.
