Chicken Dimsum. Chicken dim sum, the classic Chinese delicacy, is an uniquely special dish to enjoy on special occasions with friends and family. You may even save it for that special date night in! These chicken dim sums are special.

Cover the dough with a wet kitchen towel and keep it aside. For best results you must use a whole chicken and flour. You can also use some chicken stock for added flavor. You can cook Chicken Dimsum using 10 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Chicken Dimsum

You need 1 pack of wonton sheets (or if you cant find wonton sheets, you can replace with mandoo sheets (mando=korean dumpling)).
You need 500 gr of minced chicked (you can replace with pork, fish, beef, prawn).
Prepare 3-4 tbs of tapioca starch.
It's 1 cup of chopped spring onion/leek (you can replace with radish, mushroom, chives or chestnut).
You need 1/2 cup of grated carrot for topping.
You need 2 tbs of sesame oil.
It's 2 tbs of oyster sauce.
Prepare 1 tbs of garlic powder.
It's 1 tbs of salt or soy sauce.
Prepare 1 tsp of white pepper.

The trick is the lemon which makes the chicken tender and adds flavor to the soup. Leftovers won't last very long with this. Dip your index finger into a small boil of water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Fold the dumpling to form a half-moon shape.

Chicken Dimsum step by step

First, mix together on a bowl minced meat, spring onion, tapioca starch and all the seasoning. You can take 1 tsp and put on boiling water to taste if it’s already right..
Make “O” shaped with your index finger and thumb, place the wonton sheet on top of it. Put 1 table spoon of meat mixture and wrap. I forgot to take picture step by step but you could see how to wrap the dumpling on youtube. If it’s done, put grated carrot on top of it. Dont forget to brush your steamer with oil before you placed your dimsum on to avoid it sticked on the steamer. Then steam more or less 45 minutes..
You can make another variation from this recipe, called “gyoza”. You can watch on youtube how to fold the gyoza. For this dish, the cooking method is steam fried. So heat up 1 tbs of oil on pan, place the gyoza then added 1/2 cup (or less) of water/broth, make sure the gyoza not drowning on the water. Then put the lid and cook until the water runs dried. Flip it and do same things..
Both can be served with soy sauce, chilli powder or siracha sauce. You can added slice ginger on dipping sauce if you like..

Press and seal tightly in the middle. Arrange the wrapped dumplings on a plate lined with parchment paper to avoid the dumpling from sticking to the bottom of the plate. Eating the dim sum chicken feet is surprisingly similar to cutting the toes off at the beginning. To consume the chicken feet, you must eat them joint by joint. This means that you choose one of the toes to eat first.
