Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns (ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Water (for sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until evenly combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.
With a finger dipped in water, wet the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
To form the classic wonton shape, bring the two outer corners of the triangle together and seal with a dab of water. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches, about 4-5 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
To prepare the raspberry Szechuan sauce, combine raspberry jam, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ground Szechuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
Serve the fried chicken wontons warm with the raspberry Szechuan sauce on the side for dipping.
