CHINESE CHICKEN DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and stir fry in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Let cool until warm.
• In a bowl, combine chicken with remainder of soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, oyster sauce and sesame seeds.
• Put a small amount of the mixture into each wonton wrapper and fold diagonally. Putting a little bit of water on the edges helps seal them, but it often takes a bit of pressing. Make sure they are sealed so that the sauce doesn't leak out.
• Put the chicken broth and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Drop the wonton parcels into the saucepan and boil for 3-5 mins (they will look like cooked noodles when they are done). Only put a few in at a time so they are not touching as they tend to stick together.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and serve warm with soy sauce to dip.

• Mix chicken, soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl. Gradually mix in the cooled ginger-spring onion water.
• Mince the agar mixture and stir into chicken mixture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Place flour in a large bowl; stir in 2/3 cup warm water and vegetable oil. Mix until a smooth dough forms; cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut dough into small pieces and roll into balls; flatten into rounds that are slightly thicker in the center.
• Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each piece of dough. Draw up the sides to form a bag shape and twist to seal.
• Place in a bamboo steamer. Steam in a skillet filled with about 1 inch of water over high heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
