Method
Finely chop the green onion and set aside.
In a large bowl combine ground chicken, oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, minced garlic, cornstarch, white pepper, black pepper, salt to taste, and the chopped green onion; mix until evenly incorporated.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The filling mixture looks uniform, with aromatics spread through the chicken.
Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a quick spray of cooking oil.
Add the chicken mixture to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula, and sauté until the meat is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes; transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken is browned through before it is wrapped.
Prepare a shallow dish of water. Quickly dip each rice‑paper sheet into the water for no more than 10 seconds—just enough to soften without becoming soggy—then lay flat on a clean work surface.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Each wrapper softens while staying easy to lift from the work surface.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the cooked chicken filling in the center of each softened sheet. Fold the sheet into a square or triangle, pressing the edges to seal the filling inside.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The edges stay sealed around the filling.
Wipe the skillet clean, return it to medium‑low heat, and lightly spray again with cooking oil.
Arrange the folded dumplings in a single layer in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the rice paper turns a light golden‑brown and becomes crisp.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The wrappers develop a crisp, golden surface.
While the dumplings finish cooking, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and water to create a dipping sauce.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The dipping sauce is blended evenly.
Transfer the crispy dumplings to a serving plate, drizzle with a little of the sauce or serve it on the side, and enjoy while hot.
