Description

This baked dumplings recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional dumpling, featuring a crispy golden exterior and a savory filling of shredded chicken and fresh vegetables. Perfect for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or a comforting meal, these dumplings are easy to prepare and bake in the oven, making them a healthier alternative to fried versions without compromising on flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (or your preferred filling)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped vegetables (such as carrots, bell peppers, or green onions)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)

Topping

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil while mixing to form a dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, making rolling easier.
  4. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken with the finely chopped vegetables, garlic powder, and soy sauce (if using). Mix thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle approximately 4 inches in diameter, suitable for wrapping the filling.
  6. Fill the Dumplings: Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leakage during baking.
  7. Seal the Dumplings: Fold each dough circle over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the dumplings tightly.
  8. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the dumplings on the lined baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it evenly over the tops for a beautiful golden finish after baking. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired for added texture and flavor.
  9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the dumplings for 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked dumplings to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to ensure the filling sets and they are safe to eat.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken with tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
  • If desired, serve dumplings with a dipping sauce like soy sauce mixed with a dash of vinegar and chili oil.
  • Make sure not to overfill the dumplings to prevent them from opening during baking.
  • You can prepare the dumplings ahead of time and freeze them before baking for a quick meal later.
  • For a crispier texture, brush a little oil before baking along with the egg wash.
