I know dumplings might be an intimidating recipe, but I assure you this one is not! These chicken teriyaki dumplings are so easy and require minimal ingredients! Traditional dumpling recipes require a bunch of prep work to incorporate flavor from ingredients like garlic, ginger, and green onion. However, this recipe uses teriyaki sauce to flavor the filling!
I used Primal Kitchens no soy teriyaki sauce, but you can most definitely use your favorite or make some from scratch! I also decided to add some green onion and coleslaw mix to add in some veggies.
How do I store dumplings?
I like to freeze the raw dumplings and take them out as I want to eat them! To prepare frozen dumplings I bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen dumplings for about 8 minutes or until they float. You can also place the frozen dumplings on a skillet with a layer of olive oil and steam for 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
If the dumplings are already cooked place them in an air tight container, and they will last up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave if you are in a hurry or in the airy fryer to get them crispy!
Key ingredients for these chicken teriyaki dumplings:
- Ground chicken
- Typically I make my own ground chicken by dicing up some chicken breast very finely. However, it is very easy to pick some up from the store!
- Teriyaki sauce
- I used teriyaki sauce from Primal Kitchen! I love this sauce because it is lower in sugar compared to other store bought teriyaki sauces. You can also make a homemade version.
- Scallions
- This is a must for any dumpling or wonton recipe! Always incorporate this to intensify the flavor!
- Green cabbage
- I added this to incorporate some vegetables into this recipe! I tend to have dumplings as a meal on its own so I like to include some kind of veggies.
- Sesame oil
- This is always me oil of choice for dumpling fillings! It adds a delicious deep flavor as well as helps keep the filling juicy.
- White pepper
- The best seasoning to go with dumpling filling.
- Wonton wrappers
- I used circle dumpling wrappers I found at my local Asian market.
