Chicken Dim Sum

Ingredients(for 4-5 dim sums per person with green chutney)

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour (atta for wrapper)
• 1/3 cup Water (for dough)
• 1/2 tsp Salt (for dough and filling)
• 1/2 cup Plant-based chicken strips (shredded, use soy-based or pea protein)
• 1/4 cup Cabbage (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup Carrot (grated)
• 2 tbsp Spring onion (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
• 1 tsp Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1/2 tsp Sesame oil (optional, for flavor) - optional

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the dough by mixing atta, salt, and water to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

   10 minutes

   Resting the dough makes wrappers easier to roll and softer after steaming.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix shredded plant-based chicken, cabbage, carrot, spring onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil (if using). Combine well.

   5 minutes

   Finely chopped ingredients ensure even cooking and texture.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into 10 small balls. Roll each ball into thin circles (approx. 3-inch diameter).

   5 minutes

   Use a little dry flour to prevent sticking while rolling.

4. 4

   Place a spoonful of filling at the center of each wrapper. Fold and pleat the edges to seal, creating classic dim sum shapes.

   5 minutes

   Seal tightly to avoid the filling spilling during steaming.
