1 lb ground chicken (or pork)
1 Tbsp Happy Nancy
12 oz wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
1 Tbsp canola oil

Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp vinegar (or rice wine vinegar)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Sriracha (or Sambal Olek) if you enjoy a little heat

Directions

Preparation

Combine dipping sauce ingredients together, mix well and set aside
Grate onion and fresh ginger
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground chicken (or pork), grated onion & ginger and Happy Nancy seasoning and mix well

Wrapping

Individually lay wonton wrappers onto your work surface
Fill a small bowl with water and place next to the wonton wrappers
Place 1/2 Tbsp of the meat filling onto each wrap
Brush the edges of the wrappers with water
Fold the wrappers into a triangle shape and press the edges together while removing as much air as you can – make sure the edges are sealed well
Repeat with the rest of the wonton wrappers until you run out of filling

Cooking

Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium heat
Place as many wontons as will fit on the bottom of the pan – be sure not to crowd the pan
Brown the bottom of the wontons for approximately 3 minutes.
Once the bottom is browned, add 1 Tbsp of water, place the lid onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. This will allow the steam to finish cooking the wontons
Repeat until all wontons are cooked
