Asian Inspired Chicken Dumplings

What you will need:
Wonton or Dumpling Wrappers
1 lb Ground Chicken
1 Bag Coleslaw mix
1 Bunch Scallions Diced
5 tablespoons Fresh Ground Ginger Root
1 tablespoon Sugar
4 tablespoons Soy sauce

This recipe is adapted from one of my husbands students family recipe. We first had these at a heritage day celebration.

Take Chicken, Scallions, Ginger, Sugar and soy and mix well. Allow to sit 5 minutes then add the coleslaw Mix. Take one Tablespoon of Mix and place it in wrapper. Wet sides of wrapper and fold over to seal. Continue until you either run out of wrappers or Mixture. Boil Dumpings until they float to top of pot. Once they have all floated add 1/2 cup cold water and wait until Dumplings float to top a second time. Test to see if cooked through. If not add another 1/2 Cup of cold water. Serve.

NOTE- If you have chicken breasts you can add scallion, ginger, sugar and soy to a Cuisinart to chop then add Breasts to grind to a paste. Add Coleslaw and Pulse until well blended. This mixture makes a nicer texture for your dumplings.
