Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Steamer
  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 3 stalks Green onion Green parts only
  • 1/2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch Optional, but gives more flavor
  • 1 pkg Wonton skins

Instructions

  • Mix together in a bowl the ground chicken, spices, egg, and green onion until combined. Add the cornstarch and mix.
  • Put about 1tsp meat mix in the middle of the skin and fold over and press sides to adhere. Please see photos above. Take the 2 pointy ends and press them together in front of the wonton.
  • I steamed my dumplings in the instant pot for 4 minutes on the steam function. I steamed them in batches because I have a small 3qt instant pot that maybe only fit 10 wontons at a time. Cook the wontons before storing in the refrigerator because if you store raw wontons in the refrigerator the meat juice will seep out and make a mess. You can also steam in a traditional stovetop steamer for about 20 minutes.
  • Eat the wontons as is after cooking or add them to soup. They are delicious on their own with some coconut aminos to dip them in.
