How You Make it

1. Bring water to boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer and reduce to simmer.

2. Keep the wrappers moist by covering them with a damp kitchen towel.

3. Place the chicken in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times.

4. Add the edamame, ginger, green onions, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Pulse mixture until very well combined.

5. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture to the center of each wrapper. Moisten the sides of the wrapper with water and close each dumpling by gathering the edges of the wrapper towards the center. Keep filled dumplings moist by covering them with a damp kitchen towel.

6. Place the dumplings in a single layer in the steamer and steam for approximately 6-7 minutes. Repeat with remaining dumplings and serve immediately with sauce.
