Ingredients:

Method:

1. Add the minced chicken to a bowl along with the condiments, fresh ginger, fried garlic, freshly chopped herbs, pepper, and salt.
2. 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).
3. Take one Sui Kow dumpling pastry wrapper at a time and lightly moisten the edges.
4. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center.
5. Gently fold over and align the moist edges. Pleat by first pinching the center and then pleating towards this pinched center, from both ends. (Refer to Video). This makes a sort of fan-shaped dumpling. Pleat into any simple dumpling shape. Only practice makes perfect…
6. As you fill and wrap all the dumplings,  place them on a tray lined with non-stick parchment paper, so that they don’t touch each other.
7. Use a wide-based pot about 2/3 filled with water. Bring to boil.
8. Add the dumplings, one by one to the boiling water. Give them a swirl every now and then, so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pot.  Do this in two or three batches according to the capacity of your pot.
9. Once the first batch is added, give it a swirl once more, and bring it back to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered for 8 minutes. Swirl occasionally. The dumplings will have swollen up and float to the surface when they are done.
10. Remove with a wide slotted spoon and set them aside on a nonstick pan or a greased tray(to prevent sticking to each other, causing breakage). Repeat with the next batch of dumplings.
11. As long as the remaining water from boiling the dumplings is not super starchy, just top this up with boiled water to make the soup. It contains great flavor. But depending on your dumpling skins, sometimes the water will be too murky, in which case, you want to use fresh water or homemade stock.
12. I simply top up the boiling dumpling water and then add in the glass noodles and boil till cooked. I also add soup seasoning powder to taste.  Also, add some soy sauce(1 -2 tsp) to season.
13. Once seasoned just right and the noodles are cooked, add some fresh Bok choy, Choy sum or even Cabbage leaves. Cook just till the leaves are tender.
14. Return the dumplings while plating into bowls, garnished with chopped spring onion greens or chives
15. Serve with any of your favorite dipping sauces. (Popular, is light soy combined with sesame oil and minced ginger, and black rice vinegar).

Notes:

• To make non-alcoholic meat marinade, smash a small piece of ginger and 1/4 tsp Sichuan peppercorns together and steep in 3 Tbsp of hot water for 20 minutes. Strain and use. In some recipes, I also substitute it with liquid meat tenderizer.
• Szechuan Sauce recipe
• Fried garlic can be stored in airtight jars, to be used as a seasoning in so many Asian dishes. You can also find it ready-made in your Asian food section.
