Offtopic: We are now on Twitter, so Follow Us on Twitter to get first-hand updates whenever we ... update!

Been exploring a lot on Porkie dishes... So, today i'm heading back to no pork business this round... Since I've made the Porkie Filled Dumplings version a while back...

Have you eaten Chicken Filled Dumplings? Make some yourself, can be kept in freezer to consume later!
Chicken Filled Dumplings - 5

Ingredients:::
Chicken Filled Dumplings - 3
300g Minced Chicken Breast
100g diced Fresh Prawns
3 hipping tablespoon of Carrot finely grated
4 finely diced Shallots
5 finely diced Fresh Water Chestnut
1 tablespoon chopped Spring Onion

Seasonings:::
2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
1 teaspoon Cornflour
Dash of White Pepper


Steps

1. Put Minced Chicken Breast, Diced Prawns, Shallots, Water Chestnut, Carrot, & Spring Onion in a big bowl, and mix till even out.

2. Add all the seasonings, then mix them properly using two teaspoons.

3. Shift all the mixed bowl of minced chicken mix, bring along a container with the base covered with kitchen towel and dusted with cornflour. Also, the Wan Tan Skin! To a comfortable place for your wrapping process to start.

4. Take a piece of Wan Tan Skin, curve your hand in a "C" shape and place 1 1/4 teaspoons of minced pork mix in the center of the "C" Curve.

5. When done, use your index finger or thumb to rub some egg whites on the full edge.

6. Seal from the Center Top then one side to another. Try to avoid any air bubbles trapped inside.

7. Place it in the container prepared.

8. Remember if you wanna make more for another day, pack them up separately in the air tight bag (*Wan Tan Skin will dry up) or container and store them in the freezer. Reason is the Wan Tan Skin will actually be moist and if left in the open. Since I am preparing fresh for the steamboat dinner, I left it in the fridge.

9. Boil chicken stock soup or any types, it all works. When it's boiled place the Chicken Filled Dumplings and wait for it to float (*means it's done)!

10. Dish it out to serve HOT!

This round I cooked my soup with chicken stock, carrots, prawns, & chicken meat.
