Ingredients:

Dumpling Wrappers of Choice		Pack of 30 sheets ( I use Sui Kow Wrappers, as I like them the most. They come in both lighter and more yellow shades)
Minced Chicken		600 gms
Shaoxing Chinese cooking wine or Substitute with Meat Tenderizing liquid		2 tsp
Light Soy Sauce		2 tsp
Asian Sesame Oil		2 tsp
Ginger, finely minced		2 tsp
Cilantro/Coriander leaves, finely chopped		4 Tbsp
Spring onion / Scallion, finely chopped		4 Tbsp
White Pepper powder		1 tsp
Salt		1/3 tsp (to taste)

Add the minced chicken to a bowl along with the condiments, ginger, freshly chopped herbs, pepper, and salt.
Mix with a fork – just till nicely combined – without overmixing. ( Over mixing will cause the filling to lose some of the soft, tender and moist quality).
Take 1 dumpling wrapper at a time and lightly moisten the edges.
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center.
Gently wrap and seal the moist edges. Pleat into any simple dumpling shape. Only practice makes perfect…
Steam in a bamboo steamer or regular steamer: Line the steamer rack with greaseproof paper. Place the dumplings with sufficient space between them. They should not touch.
Steam for 8 – 10 minutes, covered.
Serve with any of your favorite dipping sauces. (Popular is light soy combined with sesame oil and minced ginger and black rice vinegar.
