Chinese New Year Dumplings (Jiaozi)

Most of Asian people such as Chinese, Korean, Chinese Malay, Chinese Thai, Vietnamese and Singaporean are celebrating Chinese(or Lunar) New Year(Interestingly, Japanese do not celebrate). This year in 2020, new year day will be on 25th January. I made dumplings which are commonly eaten on this celebration day! 大家，新年快樂！ I used chicken meat so Muslim people can also try!! #cny2020

Chop ginger and onion in small pieces and place them in a bowl.

Add minced chicken, ingredients for dumpling filling and mix well by hand until it gets sticky.

* Step 4

Place a small portion of the filling on a dumpling skin and wet the edges of the dumpling with water.

* Step 5

Fold the dough over the filling into a half moon shape and pinch the edges to seal(see below). Have 6 pinches in total for 1 dumpling(this is my style).

* Step 6
