Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb of ground chicken, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing out any air. Seal the edges tightly. You can also fold the corners of the triangle towards the center for a more decorative shape if desired.
- Continue filling and sealing the remaining wonton wrappers until all the filling is used.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the wontons and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Alternatively, you can steam the wontons for about 8-10 minutes until cooked.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the water and drain them on a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of chili paste, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Adjust the chili paste based on your desired spice level.
- If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out.
- Arrange the cooked wontons on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the spicy chili sauce over the wontons or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
