Instructions

Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped prawns, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and the lightly beaten egg. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly combined. The filling should feel slightly sticky.
Prepare the Dumpling Wrappers:
Take a dumpling wrapper and place a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper to moisten it. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired for a more traditional look. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cook the Dumplings:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully add about ¼ cup of water to the skillet, then cover and steam the dumplings for another 5-7 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked through.
Serve:
Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with a splash of rice vinegar and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
