Measure out 1 and 3 cups of Ibis all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt, then combine.

Add 220 ml of boiling water to the flour mixture and use a spoon to combine it.

Once the mixture cools slightly, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until slightly tacky but not too sticky.

If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour and work it in.

Place the kneaded dough back in a bowl, cover it, and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.

Rough chop a 2-inch piece of ginger and 5 cloves of garlic, then pound them into a paste using a mortar and pestle.

In a mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken with the ginger and garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of green seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of pie spice powder, 1 teaspoon of MSG, juice from 1 lime, and a pinch of salt.

Portion out the rested dough and roll it to form dumpling wrappers, aiming for 16 pieces.

Fill each dumpling wrapper with the chicken filling, using your thumb and index finger to pleat and seal them.

Heat oil in a pan over medium flame and add the dumplings, cooking until the underside is browned.

Once browned, add a little water to the pan, cover it, and allow the dumplings to steam until the water has evaporated.
