Chicken Cilantro Dumplings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground organic chicken (I bought organic chicken breasts and ground them myself in my food processor.)
- 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 green onion stalks, sliced
- Cilantro (I used one bunch; use less or none if you are not very fond of cilantro), finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 inch round slice of ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- Approximately 5 ounces tofu
- About 50-60 dumpling/potsticker skins (we got thick and thin ones; we much preferred the thinner ones)
- [Note: I chopped all the vegetables in my food processor and then ground the chicken breasts in it as well. It was quick and easy.]
- Combine and mix all ingredients, except the dumpling skins, in a bowl for the filling. Don’t overwork the filling.
- Spoon a small amount of filling into the middle of the dumpling skins. Don’t use too much, or it will be hard to close the dumplings.
- Wet one half of the outside of the skins with water and fold the skins in half.
- Firmly press down on the seams and fold them over 2 to 3 times.
- Makes approximately 50 - 60 dumplings.






The dumplings can be pan-fried or cooked in a soup.
- To panfry: Spray a hot frying pan with oil. Lower the heat to medium high. Add the dumplings and cook on one side for about 3 minutes. Then add a few tablespoons of water to the pan and put a lid on the pan. Let the dumplings cook/steam for about 2-3 minutes. Then take the lid off and continue to cook until both sides are browned.



- To cook in soup: Add the dumplings to some gently boiling broth. Make sure the broth doesn’t boil too hard, or the dumplings may open up. Cook for about 5 – 7 minutes.
Questions: Did you watch the Super Bowl? Since the 49ers came so close but didn’t make it after all, hubby was still a bit heartbroken, and it was easy to convince him to spend the beautiful afternoon outside instead!

Be well,
