Let's get started!
- In a medium bowl, use a spatula to mix water and flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough with your hands for about 3 to 5 minutes until soft. Place it in a small mixing bowl and lay a paper towel on top of it to prevent a skin from forming.
- In a small bowl, combine chicken, green onions, garlic, salt, soy sauce, pepper, and sesame oil and then refrigerate.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles and then place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Stack layers of circles on top of one another with parchment paper in between each layer (PICTURE at 3:45)
- Scoop a tablespoon of chicken filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Seal the dumplings with the twist and pinch technique (PICTURE at 4:25).
- Line the inside of the steamer with cabbage leaves and then fill it with dumplings.
- Place the steamer on top of a pot of boiling water with a steamer ring. Steam for about 7 minutes.
- In a sauce bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk together and make any changes you desire.
- TaDa! The Kung Fu Panda Dumplings are finished and ready to kick up some flavor!
