Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Ground chicken
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, finely grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 12 Rice paper sheets (for wrapping)
- 500 ml Water (for softening rice paper)
- 250 ml Vegetable oil (for frying, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper.
Add cornstarch to the chicken mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Fill a pie plate or shallow bowl with warm water. Place a clean, damp kitchen towel beside it.
Working with one rice paper sheet at a time, dip it into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds, until just pliable.
Transfer the softened rice paper to the damp towel. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of the rice paper.
Wrap the rice paper around the filling like a parcel: fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll it up completely to close. Repeat with the remaining chicken filling and rice paper sheets.
For steaming: Place the wrapped wontons in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam over boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
For frying (optional): Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the wontons in batches until they are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve immediately with gluten-free soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
