  • Place one dumpling wrapper over each chicken ball. Gently press and fold the wrapper around the filling so it wraps around it like a blanket.
  • The wrapper does not need to be perfectly sealed, as it will soften and shape itself while cooking.
  • Add a small splash of water to the pan. Immediately cover with a lid and allow the dumplings to steam for about 5–6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the wrappers become soft and tender.
  • Remove the lid and pour in the sauce mixture made with soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and sugar.
  • Allow the dumplings to cook uncovered for another 2–3 minutes, letting the sauce reduce slightly and coat the dumplings.
