Dumpling Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dumpling Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while kneading the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Filling
In a frying pan over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook until they're soft and any moisture has evaporated. In a bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, ground chicken, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Dumpling Assembly

Assemble the Dumplings
Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a round cutter or a glass. Place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.
Cooking the Dumplings

Cook the Dumplings
You can either steam or pan-fry the dumplings. For steaming, place the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper and steam for about 15 minutes. For pan-frying, heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place the dumplings in the skillet, add a splash of water, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes until the bottoms are golden and the filling is cooked through.
Dipping Sauce Preparation

Make the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sesame seeds. Adjust to taste.
