What each ingredient does
- Whole chicken
- Provides the main protein and meat flavour that the stew is built around.
- Plain dumpling paste
- Forms the dumplings, which cook in the stew and become soft and fluffy as they steam.
The step that matters
Cover and stew for an additional 15 minutes. Keeping the pot covered traps steam so the dumplings cook through and puff up. Lifting the lid lets steam escape, which can leave the dumplings dense or gummy.
