Steps:
- 1. In the large bowl of a food processor, chop the cabbage, leek, and green onion until fairly fine. Move to a screen seive and squeeze until it is dry enough to clump.
- 2. Grind garlic and ginger in the food processor. Add chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, and hot oil. Process until the consistency of stiff peanut butter.
- 3. Mix together cabbage mixture with chicken mixture.
- 4. To assemble dumplings, lay a wonton skin on a flat surface.

- 6. Put 1 teaspoon chicken filling in the center of the wanton skin and fold to seal the edges, trying to get as much air as possible out of the dumpling.
- 7. Place flat on parchment paper or stick-free foil on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once they are frozen they can be moved to bags for storage.
- 8. Heat a large covered skillet on medium heat. Lightly oil the skillet with vegetable oil. Lay each dumpling on the hot pan and do not move for 3 to 4 minutes (long enough for the bottom to become golden and somewhat stuck to the pan. Add chicken broth and cover the pan. Simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Serve with dipping sauce.
- 9. Dipping sauce: combine soy sauce, rice wine, garlic & ginger or use purchased dipping sauce.
- 10. If you have leftover filling, add an egg and some bread crumbs and form into small balls. Poach these slowly in chicken broth and chill. Serve with a dipping sauce.
