Decided to do some chicken dumplings, asian style. SO i thought a great way to start was with some chicken thighs. Let's start off with the marinade.
1 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Cup Teriyaki Marinade
1 Tbls Chinese 5 Spice
1/2 Tbls Ground Ginger
2 Tbls Minced Garlic
1Tbls Sesame Oil
I let the chicken marinate in that per night. The next day I started up the UDS aka Diesel Boy, got him up to 425 degrees, and threw the marinated chicken thighs on skin side down to start.
After about 30-40 minutes I flipped and basted them with some Soy Vay Veri Teri-yaki sauce. It's a great teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds.
One done I pulled them from the grill and let them rest.
Dumpling Filling
1/2 Cup Jullian Cut Carrots
1/2 Onion Finely Diced
2 Scallions Chopped
3 Cloves Garlic Finely Chopped
1 Head Bok Choy (Or 1 Head Boston Cabbage)
Sesame Oil for cooking
This gave me time to make up the rest of the dumpling filler. Sliced up some carrots, scallions, onions garlic and cabbage. I heated up some sesame oil in a skillet. The carrots went in first to soften, then the onions scallions, and garlic, followed by the cabbage.
After that was cooked I deboned the thighs and chopped the grilled Teriyaki chicken.
I then added the cabbage mixture with the Teriyaki chicken and let them cool and get happy.
Then it was time to start filling and making the dumplings. I used about 1Tbls of the Teriyaki Chicken mix for each dumpling and a little water to seal the edge.
After the teriyaki chicken dumplings were made they took a quick swim in some boiling water.
Were next drained and patted dry, then I gave the teriyaki chicken dumplings a quick pan fry.
Here we are all finished and plated. Pan fried Teriyaki Chicken Dumplings, scallions, wasabi, and Sesame Teriyaki sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
A super delicious bite.
