Instructions
 

Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, sriracha sauce, ginger garlic paste, tamari soy sauce, rice vinegar, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and lime juice.
  • Stir until smooth.

  • If using, add sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor.

Prepare the Cabbage Leaves :

  • Heat a saucepan filled with water over high heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
  • Blanch the cabbage leaves by dipping them into the boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until they become flexible but not too soft.
  • Remove and set aside to cool.

Assemble the Dumplings:

  • Lay one cabbage leaf flat and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center.
  • Gently fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly, securing the filling inside.

Cook the Dumplings:

  • Steam the dumplings in a steamer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Serve:

  • Serve the dumplings hot with the zesty peanut dipping sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
