- 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 1/2 egg, beaten
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- A pinch of sugar
- A splash of water

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by boiling the chicken fillet until fully cooked. Once done, cut the fillet into small dice-sized pieces and drain well.
-
Cook the Filling:
- Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until it becomes fragrant. Add the chopped chicken fillet to the pan.
- Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and chicken bouillon powder. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Add a splash of water to help the flavors meld and allow the chicken to cook until the liquid has evaporated and the filling is well-seasoned. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a pinch of sugar if needed.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Transfer the cooked filling to a separate bowl. Stir in the beaten egg and finely sliced green onions until everything is well combined.
-
Assemble the Dumplings:
- Place a small spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Using the flour and water paste, seal the edges of the wrapper by pressing them together. Ensure the filling is securely enclosed.
-
Fry the Dumplings:
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dumplings until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the fried dumplings from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, and enjoy these crispy, savory chicken-filled delights!
Tips:
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add finely chopped mushrooms or other vegetables to the filling.
- If you prefer a healthier option, consider steaming the dumplings instead of frying them.
