Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 0.5 pounds Ground chicken
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Green cabbage
- 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large, beaten Egg
- 2 cups, for frying Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup, for sealing wontons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated carrot, chopped cabbage, green onions, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Use a spoon to drop about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges to seal.
Bring the two outer corners of the triangle together and pinch them to form a classic wonton shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the wontons in batches, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked wontons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried wontons hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as a low-sodium soy sauce or vinegar-based dip.
