I followed one reviewer's recommendation and used wine vs. vinegar and the only addition was I added sum fresh chopped parsley to the melted butter when adding wet ingredients to the flour when making the dumplings. Browning the chicken and then veggies prior to boiling made such a difference and added rich flavor to the final product. Combine flour, broth, baking powder and eggs; mix well to form a stiff batter. Drop by tablespoonfuls into simmering soup.

Instructions to make Chicken and Dumplings:

1. Melt the butter with the olive oil over a medium/high heat. Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper. Over 2 batches brown the chicken on all sides and transfer to a clean plant and set aside..
2. Using the same pot add the carrots, onions and celery. Stir and fry for 3-4 minutes over a low/medium heat. Add in the turmeric and thyme, then pour in the broth. Stir and add the chicken back into the pot. Cover with a lid and simmer for around 20 minutes..
3. In the meantime while the chicken is simmering prepare the dumpling batter. Sift together into a bowl the flour, cornmeal, salt and baking powder. Then add the half and half and gently stir together until combined. Set aside. (Substitute for half and half: Mix 1 tsp of melted butter per 1/4 cup of milk).
4. Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and set aside on a plate. Using two forks remove the chicken from the bones and shred it. Remove most of the chicken skin aswell. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Mix together the half and half and flour and then add it into the pot and stir to combine. Check seasoning, add more salt and pepper if needed..
5. Using a tablespoon drop the dumpling batter into the pot one by one. Sprinkle with the parsley. Cover again with the lid and allow to simmer for another 15 minutes. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving..

Meanwhile, place the chicken, ginger, hoisin sauce, garlic chives, dark soy sauce and black vinegar in a bowl and mix with your hands to combine. Lay out a few gow gee wrappers on a clean, dry work surface. Place a heaped teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the centre of each wrapper. Stir in broth, chicken and seasonings.
