Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 3 pieces Green onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 quarter cup Water chestnuts
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 30 pieces Store-bought wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Finely chop the green onions, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
Drain and finely chop the water chestnuts, and finely shred the cabbage.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped water chestnuts, shredded cabbage, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your fingertip.
Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle or fold up the sides to meet at the top, pressing out any air and sealing the edges tightly.
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wonton wrappers and chicken mixture.
Set up a steamer by bringing a pot of water to a simmer and placing a steam basket on top.
Line the steam basket with parchment paper punched with a few holes for steam circulation.
Arrange the wontons in the steam basket, making sure they don't touch each other.
Cover and steam the wontons for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are translucent.
Carefully remove the steamed wontons and serve them warm with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce or soy sauce.
