Prepare Chicken Filling: In a bowl, add chicken mince, cabbage, spring onion, pink salt, black pepper powder, soy sauce, 4 tbs of prepared Schezwan garlic oil & mix well. Add water, mix well & set aside.

Prepare Dough: In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, cornflour & mix well. In water, add pink salt & mix well until it dissolves. Gradually add salty water, mix well & gather the dough. Transfer the dough to a clean working surface & knead until dough is formed. Cover with cling film & let it rest for 30 minutes. Remove cling film, wet hands with water & knead until soft & smooth dough is formed, cover with cling film & let it rest for 15 more minutes. Remove cling film, take a small dough (20g) & make a ball, sprinkle cornflour & roll out with the help of rolling pin (4-inches). Use cornflour to avoid stickiness. Add prepared chicken filling, apply water on the edges, bring the edges together & press to seal the edges to make a dumpling (makes 24). In a frying pan, add cooking oil, prepared dumplings & fry on low flame for 2-3 minutes. In all-purpose flour, add water & mix well. Now add dissolved flour in frying pan, cover & cook on low flame for 5-6 minutes. Remove the lid & continue cooking uncovered on medium flame until a thin crispy crust is formed in the bottom of frying pan.
