Savory Chicken Wontons

Ingredients

Ground chicken

1 pound

Wonton wrappers

1 package (about 50 wrappers)

Vegetable oil

1/4 cup (for frying)

Water

1/4 cup (for sealing)

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 tablespoon, finely grated

Green onions

3, finely chopped

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip.
3. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. You can also pleat the edges for a decorative touch if desired.
4. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and chicken mixture until they are all filled.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. If you prefer a softer wonton, you can steam them instead of frying.
7. Remove the wontons from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve the wontons hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or a homemade ponzu sauce.
