Ingredients
- 350 gram chicken breast, chopped
- 420 gram tin corn kernels, drained
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger, plus extra 2-3 slices ginger for broth
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chilli or to taste
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- at least 24 dumpling wrappers (also called dumpling pastry; from specialist food stores or Asian supermarkets)
- 2 litre good-quality chicken stock
- roughly chopped coriander, to serve
Method
- 1In a food processor combine the chopped chicken, 1/4 cup of the corn, spring onion, chopped ginger, chilli and 2 Tbsp of the soy sauce. Pulse the mixture until finely chopped and tacky.
- 2Lay out a few dumpling wrappers and top each with 1 tsp of mixture.
- 3Brush rim of each wrapper with water.
- 4Pull four points of the dumpling wrapper together to create a windmill-type effect on the top.
- 5Pinch wrapper together and seal down each seam by pressing edges together. Place on a lightly floured tray.
- 6Repeat with the remaining wrappers and mixture. You can now cook them, or cover and chill for cooking later that day, or freeze them for up to 1 month.
- 7Heat the stock in a large saucepan. Add the ginger slices, remaining soy sauce and remaining sweetcorn.
- 8Add about 6-8 dumplings to the broth and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until tender and cooked through.
- 9Serve in bowls with a sprinkling of chopped coriander.
