Chinese Dumplings!

I feel ... I feel ... I feel Happy of Myself!

I made them 100% from scratch!

Here's how I did it:

Wonton wrappers: 

Ingredients: 

1 egg

1/3 cup water (I've found I need almost 1/2 cup)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares.

Filling:

Finely minced chicken

Sprinkle of garlic

Sprinkle of salt

Sprinkle of ginger

Aloha Soy Sauce

Mung bean sprout coarsely chopped

Water chestnuts coarsely chopped

Finely minced green onion

(I made this part up by myself!)

Use water to seal up a little bit of filling in the wonton wrappers.

Heat up enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a non stick pan. Cook 'til the bottoms get brown and toasty. Add 1/3 cup of water. Put a lid on it and let them steam for about 5 mins.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
