Buffalo Chicken Dumplings with Celery Salad

Step 1

For the celery salad: Combine the vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Toss in the celery and carrots. Season with freshly ground black pepper and let marinate while you prep the dumplings.

Step 2

For the Buffalo chicken dumplings: Combine the chicken, carrots, celery, scallions and Buffalo sauce in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fill a dumpling wrapper with 1 teaspoon of the filling. Use a finger to wet the edges of the wrapper with water and crimp together to form the familiar dumpling shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and dumpling wrappers.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1/4 cup oil.

Step 4

Place the flat sides of the dumplings down and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cover to steam. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the dumplings with sides of Buffalo sauce, ranch and blue cheese dressings and the marinated celery salad.
