Ingredients
Scale
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 200g ground pork
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small red chili, finely chopped

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- For the chilli sauce:
- 3 tablespoons chili oil

- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, chopped red chili, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold into a triangle, and press edges firmly to seal. Optionally, bring the two corners together to form a traditional wonton shape.
- Repeat until all filling is used.
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Cook wontons in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and sesame seeds to make the chilli sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cooked wontons and toss gently for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- Serve wontons drizzled with the prepared chilli sauce.
Notes
For an extra level of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on the wontons before serving or serve with a side of cooling cucumber salad.
