- 4 green beans, finely sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cups (60 ml) corn kernels

- 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce, to taste
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce, to taste
- 20 gyoza wrappers
- 1/3 cups (80 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp kecap manis
- 1 tbsp chinking black vinegar
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Mix all ingredients for the dressing and set aside.
- Finely mince the coriander root and garlic. Then mix the coriander, garlic, chicken mince, shiitake, spring onion whites, green beans, corn, sugar, and sauces in a large bowl. Gently massage the mixture to ensure all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Scoop 1 tsp of the chicken mince mixture onto the center of each gyoza wrapper, brush the half-moon edges with a little water, and seal into a half-moon shape.
- Line a steamer basket with baking paper, leaving small gaps around the edge. Place all dumplings on a steaming tray in a single layer.
- Steam the dumplings for 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Steam frozen dumplings for a longer time.
- Arrange the dumplings on a serving tray. Drizzle with the vinegar dressing and garnish with sliced spring onion greens.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken mince for 30 minutes before assembling the dumplings.
- To prevent sticking, lightly dust the steamer basket with cornstarch before placing the dumplings.
- Leftover dumplings can be frozen for up to 3 months; steam from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cooking time.
