Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 cup Green cabbage
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 2 stalks, chopped Green onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 3 quarters cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green cabbage and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel or cheesecloth. Place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, chopped green onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Incorporate the ground chicken into the vegetable mixture, followed by the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined. Set aside while you prepare the dumpling wrappers.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum. Stir together until fully mixed.

Step 6

Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, stirring constantly until a firm dough forms. If it is too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.

Step 7

Divide the dough into small balls approximately 1½ inches in diameter. Roll each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal, pleating as you go if desired.

Step 9

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the dumplings and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Add a splash of water to the skillet (about 1/4 cup), then cover immediately to steam the dumplings. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, ensuring the chicken filling is cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the lid and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the bottoms are crisp again, about 2 more minutes.

Step 12

Serve warm with more gluten-free soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
