Viral Blanket Dumplings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken (or ground pork)
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 cup water (for steaming)

To Serve

  • Soy sauce
  • Chili oil
  • Extra chopped green onions

Directions

  • Mix the ground chicken with the green onions, garlic, mirin, soy sauce, and pepper. Roll into small meatballs.
  • Cook the meatballs in a pan for about 1 minute.
  • Place a wonton wrapper over each meatball and pinch it closed around all sides so it drapes like a blanket.
  • Add 1/2 cup water to the pan, cover, and steam 5–6 minutes until the wrappers are cooked through.
  • Top with soy sauce and chili oil and sprinkle with extra chopped green onions. Serve hot.
