DIRECTIONS
- This meal is so tasty and so easy to make. It requires a bit of patience through dumpling assembly, but no big deal!
- Ginger Broth:
- 4 c water
- 1 1/2 c chicken broth
- 1 c soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
- 3 inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 spring onions chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
- In a pot, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and saute garlic, onions and ginger until tender. Add in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
- For the dumplings you will need:
- 1/2 lb ground chicken
- 2 tbsp minced garlic, ginger, lemongrass and soy sauce
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp red chili paste
- 1 green onion chopped finely
- (you could also add some mushrooms and beansprouts to the mix but I didn't have any)
- 1 package prepared wonton wrappers
- Mix first 8 ingredients together. Lay out several wonton wrappers at a time for easier assembly. Drop a small amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Using a bowl of cold water, dip your finger into the water and then trace the edges of the wonton wrapper to create a "glue". Fold the wonton wrapper into a triangle and press down on all the sides making sure to have a good seal on the filling inside. Take the opposing corners of the triangle and bring together with a pinch to form a shape similar to a tortelloni.
- Once you have your dumplings assembled, add to a gently simmering broth and allow to cook for about 7 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- **Cooks note: This makes a ton of dumplings! Suggestions: 1)Don't fill all of your dumplings and make more the following day. Deep fry in peanut oil or wok fry and eat in a crispier version. **
