Preparation

Broth
1. Brown the chicken (optional for deeper flavour): Heat a pot over medium heat with a little oil. Add the hard-body chicken pieces and brown lightly on all sides. Remove from the pot.
2. In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook gently for 5–7 min until softened and aromatic.
3. Add the chicken pieces back into the pot.
4. Sprinkle in the Knorr Professional Chicken Stock Granules and pour in 1 L water, ensuring all ingredients are covered.
5. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
6. Cook for 1½–2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and flavourful.
7. Skim off any foam or excess fat that rises to the surface.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
9. For a clear, clean broth, remove chicken and strain vegetables out.
Stuffing
1. Heat a pan with a little oil. Add the leeks and cook for 2–3 min until soft.
2. Add mushrooms and thyme and cook for 3–4 min until moisture evaporates.
3. Add the shredded chicken and mix well.
4. Season with Knorr Aromat Original and toss to combine.
5. Cool completely before using inside dumplings.
Dumpling Dough
1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the water gradually and mix to form a soft dough.
2. Add in the oil and knead until smooth (about 3–5 min).
3. Cover the dough and rest for 10–15 min to relax the gluten.
4. Divide dough into small balls (depending on desired dumpling size).
5. Flatten each piece slightly, add a spoonful of the stuffing mixture, and pinch edges to seal the dumpling.
6. Bring the Umleqwa broth to a gentle simmer.
7. Drop dumplings into the broth, cover the pot and cook for 12–15 min, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Garnish
1. Add sliced spring onion just before serving.
