Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 12 pieces Large cabbage leaves
- 3 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the cabbage leaves for 1-2 minutes until just softened. Remove and set aside to drain on a kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
To assemble the wontons, take a blanched cabbage leaf and place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly to enclose the filling, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the wontons and sear on each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the wontons to steam for 5-6 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the toothpicks, if used, and serve the wontons warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
