Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 24 pieces Won ton wrappers
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 0.5 cups Apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips that are roughly 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Season the chicken strips with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Mix well and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Lay a won ton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a strip of marinated chicken diagonally across the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the won ton wrapper with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Fold the wrapper over the chicken to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken and wrappers.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
Carefully place 4-5 wrapped chicken won tons into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining won tons.
To make the apricot dipping sauce, combine the apricot jam, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Serve the won ton wrapped chicken warm with the apricot dipping sauce on the side.
