Shao Mai Dumplings

Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit

This recipe makes: 50 dumplings
Preparation time: 35 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

For the dumplings:
1 pound ground boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 scallions, minced
1/2 cup jicama, finely diced
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package round wonton wrappers

For the dipping sauce:
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
10 lettuce or cabbage leaves for steamer

In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the dumplings, except the
wonton wrappers, until well combined. To test for seasoning, cook a
spoonful of the dumpling mixture in simmering water until cooked through,
about 4 minutes. Remove the dumpling from the water, cool slightly, taste
for seasoning and adjust. Place a few wonton wrappers on your work
surface. Place a spoonful of the mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Gather the wrapper around the filling to form a beggar's purse shape
leaving the top slightly open and place the finished dumplings on a baking
sheet. Continue filling the wrappers until all the mixture is used.
Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and red pepper flakes
in a small bowl. Stir to combine and set aside. Line a bamboo or metal
steamer with cabbage or lettuce leaves. Place the dumplings on the leaves,
without letting them touch. Set the steamer in a large saucepan over an
inch of simmering water and cover. Steam until wrappers are translucent,
about 12 to 15 minutes. Continue with all the dumplings. Transfer the
dumplings to a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
