INGREDIENTS
  • Wontons
  • 2 Tbsp yellow onion
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger
  • 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
INSTRUCTIONS
  • 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
