Instructions
- The first and most important step is preparing Dumpling dough. To prepare the dough, you have to take a cup of flour in a large bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of salt to the flour. After that, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix with a hand. When flour will turn into crumble form, time to add water. Add water little by little and mix until you get the semi-soft dough. Now spread some oil on top of the dough, cover it with a napkin or kitchen towel and keep it in a warm place until we prepare the staffing.
- To prepare the stuffing, you have to take 400-gram minced chicken in a mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients mentioned in the “ingredients list” one by one. Mix them together. Now that both dough and stuffing are ready, it’s time to make the dumplings.
- To prepare dumplings, you will need thin and small-sized flour sheets. Those sheets can be made in 2 ways. Firstly, take a big portion of dough and roll a large roti or flour sheet. Then cut out small sheets from that large roti with the help of a cookie cutter or steel glass. The second way is to take equal portions of dough and roll out dumpling-sized small sheets. To better understand the whole procedure, please watch the video tutorial attached below.
- When you are done with making flour sheets, put 2 teaspoons of that chicken staffing on each sheet. Now give them either similar shapes or try different dumpling shapes to make your dish more interesting.
- Now it’s time to give your dumplings steaming. We can steam them in different ways actually. Choose what works for you. No matter which method you use to give them stem, it is a must to put water for boiling. Until the water gets boiled, transfer those ready dumplings to the refrigerator. So that they won’t get soggy.
- Steam them for almost 7 to 8 minutes or until they become a little transparent. Then transfer them to a serving dish and proceed to make Chili garlic oil. You can use a traditional bamboo steamer, 2 or 3 layers steel steamer, or a rice cooker’s steamer part to steam those parcels. I have used what I got at hand. I assembled 5 to 6 dumplings into a plastic vegetable strainer. Before placing them on the strainer, I brushed some oil on it. Then keep a big pot of water on the stove to boil. When the water started to boil, I set that strainer on top of it. Put a lid on the strainer and let it get steam for almost 7 minutes.
- To make chili garlic oil, you have to take 2 tablespoons of chili flex in a bowl. Instead of store-bought chili flex, you can use roasted and crushed dried red chili. Add finely chopped garlic to it, followed by white sesame seeds. Finally, pour ½ cup boiling hot olive oil and let those chilies and spices infuse into the oil.
- Drizzle this chili garlic oil on dumplings and serve them warm with one or two of your favorite dips.
