Varoma chilli chicken dumplings with dipping sauces

[Aussie Brenda]

These sound delicious, the family is coming tomorrow for my DS birthday , I will try and get them done this afternoon.

[Amy :-)]

I have these prepared and in the fridge for dinner tonight

The dough was really hard to roll out, I'd be interested to hear how others fare or have fared with this? I was spent over an hour assembling the dumplings and most of that time was trying to roll the dough thin enough. I don't know if I did get it thin enough so it will be fingers crossed at dinner time

I was hoping to get these on the menu this week but not enough time so hopefully next week,  I'll let you know how I go with it Amy I hope it tastes good nothing worse than spending forever on a recipe and it's not what you hoped

[Amy :-)]

I know what you mean Suzanne

I'll let you know how these go, and I'll be interested to hear how yours turn out when you do them

[Amy :-)]

Well these didn't turn out how I had hoped, but I think that's my fault. I must have done something wrong when I made the dough It was a bit chewy and "doughy" and sticky. All my dumplings had stuck together and stuck to the varoma. I should have oiled the varoma but I didn't think the dumplings would stick to each other As I mentioned in a previous post, my dough was very hard to roll so I don't think I got it thin enough. That might be the main problem. To be honest, I don't think I will make this dough again.

However, the flavour of the filling was great I really enjoyed it and I would definitely make it again but maybe just use wonton wrappers

It sure sounds like that would me much easier Amy    Looks a nice meal though.

[Amy :-)]

Thanks Judy I'm really looking forward to making it again. I have never used wonton wrappers before so that will be another new experience!

Amy I made these last week, I used pork mince.  I too had trouble with the dough , I had to add heaps of flour then another egg it was a pain, I put it through the pasta machine and got it nice and thin in the end it was lovely, but you couldn,t  stack them as mine stuck too.  The next day I fried them in a little oil to reheat and that made them delicious,

[Amy :-)]

Brenda, I hope this doesn't sound bad but I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggled with the dough
Unfortunately I don't have a pasta machine yet so I was working up a sweat with my rolling pin
Maybe the trick is to spray all the dumplings with oil... but then that would be a lot of oil

I wonder if wonton wrappers will stick?

[*suzanne*]

I'll try the wonton wrappers I think  although trying to source them is proving to be a little more difficult than I thought 

[Amy :-)]

Really Suzanne? I thought you could get them at the supermarket?

[Persistenttiger]

Coles have the wrappers. Near the soy meat products.

I shop at ww's and they don't have them I will try coles thanks or send mum and dad to the Asian store they frequent

looks good, I have wonton wrappers, so will make over the weekend.

still can't find any: had to throw my mixture out because the chicken had been frozen and couldn't be bothered making the pastry
