Ingredients

US Customary - EU Metric
  • 300 g ground chicken
  • 100 g Chinese cabbage, finely chopped
  • 150 g carrots, grated
  • 15 g dried shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 coriander roots
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 g black peppercorns
  • 10 g ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp or 15 ml oyster sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp or 22 ml light soy sauce
  • 0.5 tbsp or 7 ml sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp or 30 ml cooking oil
  • 1 pack rice paper wrappers

Instructions

Prepare the filling

  • Use a mortar and pestle (or food processor) to pound garlic, coriander root, and black peppercorns.
  • Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and shiitake mushrooms, sautéing until aromatic.
  • Add the minced chicken to the pan and cook until it’s nearly fully cooked.
  • Stir in the prepped vegetables, sauces, and seasonings. Cook everything together until the vegetables soften slightly.

Fold rice paper dumplings

  • Start by cutting a rice paper sheet in half.
  • Dip both sheets of rice paper into water briefly to soften. Be careful not to over-soak.
  • Lay the two halves on top of each other. Place a small amount of filling in the center. Bring one side over to form a triangle shape. Repeat by folding the other side, fully enclosing the filling. Fold the remaining edges tightly to seal the dumpling completely.

Pan-fry

  • Heat a small amount of oil in a flat-bottomed pan over medium heat. Place the folded dumplings in the pan and cook until they are crispy and golden brown on both sides. Flip gently to avoid tearing.

Serve

  • Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce. See the notes for some fun ideas.
