Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste (e.g. Sambal Oelek)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Water (for sealing wontons)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Chili oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to create a uniform filling.
Set up a workspace with the wonton wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the chicken filling.
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of chicken filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal tightly and remove any air around the filling.
Optionally, take the two bottom corners of the triangle and pinch them together, sealing with a dab of water to create a traditional wonton shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the wontons in batches and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover immediately, and let the wontons steam for 3-5 minutes until the filling is fully cooked. Remove the lid and allow excess moisture to evaporate.
In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, chili oil, and honey to create the dipping sauce. Mix well.
Transfer the cooked wontons to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
