Assemble the Dumplings
Place a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand. Add about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Cook the Dumplings
You can either steam or wok-sear the dumplings. To steam, place them in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and steam over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes. To wok-sear, heat a bit of oil in a wok over medium-high heat, add the dumplings, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, then add a splash of water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.
