步驟

Mix chicken wonton filling

Chicken wonton filling: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, scallions, black sesame seeds, starch, and egg white. Stir the mixture in one direction for 3–4 minutes, until it becomes sticky and tacky. This texture helps the filling bind together and cook up juicy.

Spread meat to the dumpling wrappers

Assemble the dumpling tacos: Use 2 wonton wrappers per mini taco and add about ¾ tablespoon of filling. Use the back of a spoon to spread the filling evenly and flatten it slightly, leaving the edges of the wrappers clean and free for smashing.

Cook:

Sear & press meat-side down

Preheat a large non-stick pan with oil over medium heat until warm (not smoking). Add the dumplings meat-side down, leaving a little space between each. Use a spatula to gently press down so the filling adheres to the pan.

Flip & press flip side

Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the meat side is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, gently pressing again to help crisp the wrapper. You should hear a gentle sizzle throughout. Adjust the heat as needed — hot enough to brown, but not so hot that it burns.

Cook in batches until all the filling is used. Transfer the cooked dumpling tacos to a large serving plate.

Assemble dumpling sauce

Make the dipping sauce: In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients. Stir well, then taste and adjust to your liking.

Plate the tacos

How to plate: Arrange the dumpling tacos around a large round serving plate, with the dipping sauce placed in the center. Garnish each taco with cilantro, pickles, and cucumber spears.

How to serve it

How to serve: Transfer the tacos to small serving plates and divide the dipping sauce into individual cups. Fold the tacos in half for easy dipping. Serve warm, right away.
