How to Make Beijing Chicken And Dumplings

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
  2. Add carrots and celery to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper.
  4. Pour sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  7. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 1-inch squares or desired shapes.
  8. Carefully drop dumplings into the simmering chicken and vegetable mixture.
  9. Cover the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  10. Stir in chopped scallions before serving. Garnish with extra sesame seeds or chopped cilantro if desired.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy!
