Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Assembly Ingredients
- 30 wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, peanut butter, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform filling.
- Fill the Wonton Wrappers: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about one teaspoon of the peanut chicken mixture onto the center of each wrapper, making sure not to overfill to avoid tearing.
- Seal and Shape: Lightly moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with water. Fold it diagonally over the filling to create a triangle or bring all four corners together into a purse shape, pressing firmly to seal tightly.
- Cook the Wontons: Choose your preferred method: fry in a shallow pan with hot oil until golden and crispy; bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown; or air-fry for a crispy finish with less oil.
- Serve: Serve the Peanut Chicken Wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as soy sauce, spicy chili sauce, or tangy peanut dipping sauce to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic, ginger, and green onions for best flavor.
- Do not overfill the wontons to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Wet edges thoroughly and press firmly to seal properly.
- Trim wonton wrappers if needed for uniform size and easier folding.
- Test fry one wonton first to check oil temperature and crispiness.
