1In a bowl, add chopped cabbage and 1 tablespoon of salt.
2Mix and let the cabbage sit for 15 minutes.
3Squeeze the liquid out of the cabbage and set it aside.
4Mix ground chicken, drained cabbage, garlic, ginger, green onion, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, sugar, salt, white pepper, chicken bouillon, and egg together until it forms a sticky paste.
5Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.
6Wet the edges of the dumpling wrapper with water using your index finger.
7Fold the wrapper in half and use your thumb and index fingers to pleat the wrapper.

Tips
Don’t Overfill the Dumplings: Too much filling can cause the dumplings to break open while cooking.
Make Sure the Dumplings Are Sealed Well: A tight seal ensures that the filling stays inside while cooking and prevents any leaks.
Test a Dumpling First for Best Results: Before folding the dumpling, pan fry a spoon of the dumpling filling to taste. Add more sauce and seasoning if needed.
Use a Non-Stick Skillet: This makes it easier to cook the dumplings without sticking and ensures they get that perfect crispy bottom.
