Chicken Steoup Rolled Egg Dumplings Recipes

CHICKEN STEOUP & ROLLED EGG DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Wash chicken parts, and add to a large pot, cover with water & add bay leaves. PLEASE NOTE: I USE MORE MEAT THAN MOST COOKS, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS A MEAT LOVER, you can use a lot less if desired.
• 2. Chop celery and onions and add to pot along with minced garlic, steak seasoning and garlic powder & thyme.
• 3. Place pot over medium high heat and cook for about and hour or so or until chicken parts are tender. Skim any foam from top of chicken as it cooks.
• 4. While chicken parts are cooking, peel and slice carrots.
• 5. Once chicken is tender remove parts with slotted spoon to a large platter. Discard bay leaves. Allow to cool. Add the sliced carrots, and cook slowly while you debone the chicken. Skim off the excess fat from stock pot & discard.
• 6. Once parts are cool enough to handle remove the skin and bones & discard. Cut parts into bite size pieces. Then set aside till needed.
• 7. To prepare the dumplings add the flour, salt, & garlic powder, chopped chive if desired, to a medium size bowl, add in room temperature eggs, and extra virgin olive oil. Then add in the water and blend together with a fork until dough comes together. Shape and divide dough in half. Work with half of dough at a time, by sprinkling a small amount of flour over counter top, and also rubbing some over rolling pin, then roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick then cut into strips and then cut strips into squares into desired lengths.
• 8. Drop dough into hot boiling liquid & allow to cook uncovered for about 20 minutes. I cut all of the dough into strips , and alternate on a plate or platter to pull them apart easily, before I begin to drop them into the hot stock pot. You will need to add additional flour to the work surface to keep the dumplings from sticking to surface or each other, for ease of removal from work surface.
• 9. Add chicken back into pot, along with frozen veggies, and continue to took till dumplings are tender. Taste to see if more spices are needed.
• 10. If you want your steoup to be much thicker, combine 2 tablespoons of wondra flour with 1/2 cup water, stir to blend together then pour into pot, and stir, cook for about 5 minutes, if it still is not thick enough repeat using the remaining 2 Tablespoons flour and half cup water. Stir until desired consistency is reached. Some of the ingredients used to make the egg dumplings, shown with the wondra flour. I will post a separate step by step picture instructions for making the egg dumplings.
• 11. Scoop up a big bowl and enjoy with your favorite salad or eat as a hearty satisfying meal in a bowl.

CHICKEN AND ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Special equipment: 7-quart pressure cooker
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of the salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Rub the shortening into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, 1-ounce at a time, just until you have a rough ball of workable dough. Knead the dough 3 to 4 times, until it is mostly smooth, but do not overwork.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough, using a floured rolling pin, to a sheet about 1/16-inch thick, on floured piece of waxed paper or parchment paper.
• Cover the dough, still on the waxed paper or parchment, with a tea towel, and dry for at least 8 hours. This can be done the night before or early in the morning.
• Two to three hours before the dumplings are ready to cook, put the hen, water, and the remaining tablespoon of salt in a 7-quart pressure cooker. Do not fill above the cooker's "maximum fill" line, or 2/3 full. Cover and lock the lid. Bring to pressure over high heat, approximately 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, so that you barely hear hissing from the pot. Cook for 45 minutes.
• Release the pressure using the cooker's release device (read the manual!) or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 5 minutes. Open carefully. Remove the hen from the broth and set aside to cool. The meat should be tender and falling away from the bone. Once the hen is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones in small pieces, cover and set aside. Discard the skin and bones.
• Set a cheesecloth-lined colander in a large container and pour in the broth, discarding the solids. Taste and season the broth with additional salt, if needed. Return the broth to the pressure cooker, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle boil.
• Cut the dough into 1/2-inch wide strips, break into 1 1/2-inch long pieces, and drop into the boiling broth. When all the dough has been used, gently push all of the dumplings down into the broth with a slotted spoon. Do not stir the dumplings. Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through, but not falling apart, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the meat. Serve in bowls with freshly ground black pepper.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water, and add whole chicken. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat. Simmer until tender, about 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove chicken from broth, and set aside to cool. Reserve broth. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; cut into bite size pieces. Discard skin and bones.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour and salt. Break one egg into flour, and stir with fork till stiff. Continue adding eggs one at a time until all are incorporated. The dough should be very stiff.
• Bring broth to a boil. Add bouillon cubes; stir until cubes have dissolved.
• Using a fork and knife, pick up dough on fork. Hold over boiling broth, and cut off small pieces into broth until all the dough has been used. Stir, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add chicken meat, and stir. Serve hot.

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
• Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
• Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening and add milk to make a stiff dough.
• Roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 1 inch squares, 1 to 1 1/2 inch strips or diamonds. Sprinkle lightly with flour and drop into boiling chicken stock. Cover tightly and boil gently for 8 to 10 minutes.

ROLLED EGG DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Add the flour, salt, garlic powder & chopped chive if desired to a medium size bowl. Then add in the room temperature eggs.
• 2. Add in the extra virgin Olive oil and water and whisk together with a large fork or whisk until dough begins to come together.
• 3. Shape dough into a ball, then divide in half.
• 4. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on work surface, enough excess flour to prevent dough from sticking to surface. Then add half of dough to counter, flour rolling pin, and roll out dough to desired thickness about 1/8 inch or so.
• 5. Then with a pastry cutter, knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into long 1 inch wide strips or as desired. Then cut across strips to make squares into desired size pieces.
• 6. I prefer to separate my strips by alternating the direction that I place them on a plate or platter, before I start to drop them into the hot pot of chicken stock.
• 7. Once I have them all cut, I start dropping them into the pot of boiling liquid, and stirring frequently to prevent them from sticking together.
• 8. Once they have all been added to the pot, then I add the remaining ingredients and continue to cook for about 20 additional minutes. Taste and add additional spices if desired.
