Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams lean ground chicken
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 20 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 egg white
- cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Finely chop the green onions, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Lay one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about one teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white with 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper lightly with the egg wash using a pastry brush or your finger.
Fold the wrapper over filling to create a triangle, pressing to remove air and to seal all edges. Ensure there are no gaps.
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Place the wontons in a single layer leaving space between them; you may need to cook them in batches.
Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with cooking spray to ensure they crisp up.
Fry the wontons at 190°C (375°F) for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn halfway through cooking time for even crisping.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
