Chicken-And-Lemongrass Dumplings

one lb ground Chicken
two ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
one cup Water
¼ cup Cilantro (chopped)
one cup Cabbage (thinly sliced)
¼ cup Vegetable Oil
one large Egg
one large Garlic Clove (minced)
two tbsp Lemongrass (finely grated)
two tbsp snipped Chives
one tsp Salt
one tbsp fresh Ginger (minced)
Method
Make dough out with the flour and knead it until smooth for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the dough with some flour, cover loosely with plastic wrap and keep it in room temperature for 15 minutes.
Knead the chicken in a bowl with cabbage, cilantro, lemongrass, chives, ginger, garlic and egg and salt.
Take a baking sheet. Line it with wax paper and dust it with flour. Take quarter with the dumpling dough and roll it to form a 12-inch rope on a lightly floured work surface. Cut the rope into 12 items. Roll them into balls and sprinkle with flour. Follow the same for the other three dumplings of dough.
Now, roll the dough balls to 3½ inch rounds. Brush the excess flour off the rounds. Spoon one tbsp with the filling into the center of each round. Press and pleat the edges with the wrap to seal in the filling. Lift each dumpling by the pleated edge and transfer it to the baking sheet, pressing down lightly to flatten. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Heat two tbsp of oil in a large skillet and arrange half with the dumplings in the pan, with the pleated edge facing upward. Cook them over higher heat, until the bottom gets slightly brown. This might take a maximum of two minutes.
Add ½ cup of water to the skillet, cover and cook until water evaporates and the dumplings are cooked for about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for another minute and then transfer the dumplings to a plate.
The yummy chicken and lemongrass dumplings are ready to serve.
