To assemble the dumplings: Place a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in the 3/4 cup of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, then crimp the edges to seal, ensuring no filling escapes. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. This will yield approximately 75 dumplings.

Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 1/2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 1/2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons of chili garlic sauce, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Cook the dumplings in batches: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of the remaining vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a single layer of dumplings in the hot skillet, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Carefully pour about 1/4 cup of water for each batch into the skillet. Immediately cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the dumplings steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate any remaining water, allowing the bottoms to crisp up again if desired. Transfer the cooked dumplings to a serving platter. Repeat cooking steps for remaining dumplings, adding more oil as needed.
