  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp Sichuan pepper (optional, for numbing flavor)
  • 1–2 tbsp warm water (to thin)
  • 1 tbsp green onions, chopped

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the wonton filling

Mix ground chicken, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, green onion, white pepper, and salt.

2. Fill the wontons

  • Place 1 tsp filling in the center of each wrapper.
  • Brush the edges with water.
  • Fold into a triangle and pinch tightly.
  • Bring the two corners together to form a “tortellini-style” wonton (optional).

3. Cook the wontons

  • Bring a pot of water to boil.
  • Add wontons and cook for 3–4 minutes or until they float.
  • Remove using a slotted spoon.

4. Make the spicy chili sauce

In a small bowl, mix:

  • Chili oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Rice vinegar
  • Sesame oil
  • Sugar
  • Garlic
  • Sichuan pepper
  • Water to adjust thickness

5. Assemble

Place warm wontons in a bowl, pour spicy chili sauce on top, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with steamed bok choy
  • Add thin cucumber slices for freshness
  • Garnish with extra chili oil
  • Serve with fried rice or garlic noodles
  • Add a poached egg for a richer dish

❓ FAQs

1. Can I use store-bought wonton wrappers?

Yes, they work perfectly.

2. What if I don’t have chili oil?

Use crushed red pepper + hot oil as a quick substitute.

3. Can I freeze the wontons?

Yes—freeze on a tray, then store in a bag for up to 2 months.

4. Can I air-fry them?

Yes, but they will be crispy—not suitable for chili sauce, better for dipping.

5. Is this dish very spicy?

You can adjust chili oil to your heat preference.
