Preparation

Step 1

For the Dumplings:
Mix together the cornstarch with the oyster and soy sauce. Into a large bowl combine and stir together wizzed raw chicken, chopped bok choy, scallions, diced red pepper, almonds, and grated ginger. Stir the combined cornstarch oyster and soy sauce into the chicken mixture. On a clean, dry counter work space line up defrosted won ton skins. Into the center of each place about a Tablespoonful of the chicken filling into the center. Brush beaten egg around the edges using a pastry brush then bring together each of the corners, pinch the side openings and line the assembled dumpling onto a cookie sheet. Refrigerate uncooked dumplings until ready for steaming or immediately put into freezer covered tightly with plastic wrap and a lid or freezer paper for future defrosting in refrigerator the day before use.

When ready to serve Chicken Dumplings, add water to a large wok filling up to a little over quarter full and heat to boiling. Leaving about a half inch between each uncooked dumpling place onto lined bamboo steamers then place steamers onto wok with the boiling water. Cook for about 6-7 minutes cutting into one of the dumplings to be sure the chicken is fully cooked. Serve hot steamed Chicken Dumplings with Dipping Sauce (recipe below.)

Combine all ingredients together into a bowl and chill until serving. Serve Dipping Sauce in one small serving bowl or in separate small party size cups for individual dipping.
