Prepare Dumpling Dough

Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Fry Garlic
In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
Assemble and Steam Dumplings

Form the Dumplings
Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until thin. Cut into circles about 3 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

Steam the Dumplings
Prepare a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Place the dumplings in the basket, ensuring they are not touching. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
