Description
Spicy Jamaican jerk seasoned chicken filling wrapped in dumpling dough and cooked.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup jerk seasoning paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
- 1 package wonton or dumpling wrappers
- Water for sealing
- Vegetable oil for frying or steaming
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, jerk seasoning paste, soy sauce, ginger, and scallions. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Place about one teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of a dumpling wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing firmly to seal the edges, or crimp as desired.
- Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- To cook, steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until the filling is cooked through, or pan-fry until golden brown on both sides.
Notes
- For extra flavor, serve with a side of sweet chili sauce.
- You can substitute pre-made jerk marinade for the paste if needed.
- If steaming, line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
