Fluffy Chicken Dumplings

I experimented a lot before getting to this version of chicken dumplings. By using tofu instead of eggs they become very light and fluffy. I left out sake since the dumplings can sometimes contain too much alcoholic depending on the temperature they are cooked at, and instead of using pepper I used ginger to for added flavor.

I recommend using a mixture of 100 g of ground white or breast chicken meat and 100 g of dark or thigh meat. Combine the dumpling mixture very very well. For 15 pieces. Recipe by Kichiri-monja
