Steps:

• Place the first 7 ingredients in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. Add water; cover and process until blended., Place 1 tablespoon chicken mixture in the center of 1 wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.) Moisten edges with water. Fold wrapper over filling to form a semicircle; press edges firmly to seal, pleating the front side to form 3 to 5 folds. , Holding sealed edges, stand each dumpling on an even surface; press to flatten bottom. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling; cover dumplings with plastic wrap., Line a steamer basket with 4 cabbage leaves. Arrange dumplings in batches 1 in. apart over cabbage; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 10-12 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°.

Steps:

• 1. Place first four ingredients in food processor and process until fine. Drizzle in the olive oil.
• 2. Mix the ground chicken with the mushroom mixture and add soy sauce and sugar.
• 3. Put some water in a small bowl. Lay our dumpling wrappers and wet the edges. Place a small amount of chicken mixture in center fold in half and pinch to close. Repeat until all dumpling wrappers are used.
• 4. Boil a large pan of water. Carefully drop the dumplings in the water. When they float to the top carefully remove with slotted spoon.
• 5. Place canola oil in large skillet. Brown each dumpling in oil and remove to a serving plate.
• 6. For the sauce mix all ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with dumplings .
• 7. Tip. I couldn't find round dumpling wrappers so I used egg roll wrappers and cut out circles with cookie cutter.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and stir fry in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Let cool until warm.
• In a bowl, combine chicken with remainder of soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, oyster sauce and sesame seeds.
• Put a small amount of the mixture into each wonton wrapper and fold diagonally. Putting a little bit of water on the edges helps seal them, but it often takes a bit of pressing. Make sure they are sealed so that the sauce doesn't leak out.
• Put the chicken broth and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Drop the wonton parcels into the saucepan and boil for 3-5 mins (they will look like cooked noodles when they are done). Only put a few in at a time so they are not touching as they tend to stick together.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and serve warm with soy sauce to dip.

Steps:

• In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
• To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
• To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Mix first 10 ingredients in a bowl.
• Take a wonton wrapper and place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in center.
• Moisten edges with water, fold over and press to seal edges.
• Add 3 tablespoons of Peanut Oil to a large skillet and saute until the bottoms are golden brown.
• When golden brown, add 1/2 cup chicken broth, cover pan and simmer 8 minutes.
• Remove from pan.
• Reserve broth in a separate bowl and repeat process until all potstickers are cooked.
• Keep warm on a plate covered.

Steps:

• Combine chicken stock and agar-agar flakes in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until agar-agar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Refrigerate and chill and until set, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Slightly smash ginger with the blade of a broad knife to bring out flavor. Place ginger and spring onion in 3/4 cup warm water in a bowl; rub with your fingers to extract the flavor of the ginger and onion into the water. The water will turn slightly green. Drain and let water cool.
• Mix chicken, soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl. Gradually mix in the cooled ginger-spring onion water.
• Mince the agar mixture and stir into chicken mixture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Place flour in a large bowl; stir in 2/3 cup warm water and vegetable oil. Mix until a smooth dough forms; cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut dough into small pieces and roll into balls; flatten into rounds that are slightly thicker in the center.
• Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each piece of dough. Draw up the sides to form a bag shape and twist to seal.
• Place in a bamboo steamer. Steam in a skillet filled with about 1 inch of water over high heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
