Instructions

1
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger until well combined.
2
Place a spoonful of filling onto the center of a dumpling wrapper. Fold in half, then fold the two corners over each other to create a small bundle. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
3
Carefully thread 4 folded dumplings onto each wooden skewer.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
5
Add water to the pan, immediately cover with a lid, and let the dumplings steam for 3-4 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
6
While the dumplings cook, prepare the bang bang sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
7
Arrange the cooked dumpling skewers on a plate. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, garnish with more chopped green onions, and serve with the bang bang dipping sauce and lime wedges.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Seal dumpling edges with water on your fingertip before pressing closed—this prevents filling from leaking during cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan; cook dumplings in batches over medium-high heat so they develop a crispy, golden bottom without steaming.
Thread dumplings onto skewers after filling but before cooking to prevent them from sliding during pan-frying.

Substitutions

Ground chicken → ground pork or ground turkey (same ratio, no change to cook time)
Sesame oil → neutral oil like vegetable or canola (reduces nutty flavor but maintains texture)
Soy sauce → tamari or coconut aminos (for soy-free option, 1:1 ratio)
Wooden skewers → metal skewers or serve loose (easier to assemble, no soaking needed)

Storage & make-ahead

Cooked dumplings keep refrigerated in an airtight container up to 4 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water until warmed through and crispy again.

Equipment

wooden skewers (soaked 30 minutes before use) · large skillet or wok

Common Questions

Can I make these dumplings ahead of time?

Yes. Fill and wrap the dumplings up to 8 hours ahead, then refrigerate on a parchment-lined tray. Pan-fry directly from the fridge, adding 1–2 minutes to cook time.

What is bang bang sauce made of?

Bang bang sauce typically combines mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha or hot sauce. This recipe uses a creamy, spicy blend—adjust heat by reducing sriracha.

Can I use ground pork or turkey instead of chicken?

Yes. Ground pork or turkey work well; use the same amount and cooking method. Pork adds richness; turkey keeps it leaner.

How do I know when the dumplings are cooked through?

Pan-fry until the bottoms are golden brown (2–3 minutes), then flip and cook 2–3 minutes more. The chicken filling reaches safe temperature at 165°F internally.
