Chicken Wontons

Recipe View 5 mins In a large bowl, gently combine the minced chicken, beaten egg, minced green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix until just evenly combined, being careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture and place it in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten two adjacent edges of the wrapper with a bit of water using your finger or a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle, pressing out any air and sealing the edges. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, moistening one with a touch of water and pressing them together to seal, creating a 'hat' shape. Repeat the filling and shaping process with the remaining chicken mixture and wonton wrappers. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently stir in the prepared wontons to avoid sticking. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Once the water returns to a boil, add 1/2 cup of cold water to the pot. This helps to cook the wontons evenly and prevent them from overcooking. Allow the water to return to a boil again. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Repeat the process of adding another 1/2 cup of cold water to the boiling pot. The wontons are ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the wrappers are translucent. This should take about 5 minutes after the second addition of cold water. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully drain the cooked wontons using a slotted spoon or colander. Serve immediately in your favorite chicken soup, or enjoy them as a tasty appetizer with a dipping sauce of your choice.
