Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup of celery, diced
- 1/2 cup of onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 1/2 cup of water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the diced chicken, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the dough into small squares or circles.
- Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering broth. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the chicken and vegetable dumplings hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
