Chicken & Sesame Dumplings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 heads garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
3 lbs bone-in chicken breasts
salt and pepper
5 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
3/4 cup thinly sliced scallion
1/4 cup sesame seed, toasted, plus more for sprinkling
1 (10 ounce) bag frozen peas
In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the ginger and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the chicken and 6 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then remove the meat from the bones; discard the bones.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup scallions, sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon salt.
Drop 12 heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the simmering broth, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Divide the dumplings among 4 soup bowls. Simmer the peas in the broth for 1 minute, then return the chicken to the pot and cook until heated through.
Serve in the soup bowls with the dumplings; sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup scallions and the extra sesame seeds on top.
