Chicken and Edamame Wontons
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
20 wontons
- Serves:
- 5
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb ground chicken
- 1⁄2 cup edamame (shelled and cooked)
- 1 teaspoon wasabi powder
- 1 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce
- 2 scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 1⁄4 cup water (for sealing wontons)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for pan searing)
directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to place your wontons on once you have formed them. Also, fill a small bowl or ramekin with a bit of water which will be used to seal the wontons.
- Add the cooked edamame to a mixing bowl and crush with a fork until about 1/2 to 3/4 of the beans are crushed or broken. You can get it finer or leave it chunkier to taste.
- Finely chop the scallions and cilantro and add to the mixing bowl along with the wasabi powder, thai sweet chili sauce, and sesame oil.
- Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. I like to use my hands for this, but I'm sure a spoon would work fine.
- Wash hands if necessary and get out your wonton wrappers. Also, move your parchment lined baking sheet and bowl of water close to the area where you will be working.
- Lay out a few wonton wrappers (I like to do 4 at a time) and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton.
- Dip your finger in the water and run it along two sides of the wonton, then fold the other sides of the wonton on top to form a triangle. Pinch together to seal. You can leave them as triangles if you like, but I like to take the two long edges and pinch them together as well with the help of a little more water. Repeat until all of the filling is gone and place each wonton on the baking sheet once formed.
- At this point you can store in the fridge for a few hours (or up to a day covered) or freeze the wontons if you would like.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Boil wontons in batches (judge how many depending on the size of your pot) for 5 minutes. Drain the wontons completely before the next step.
- Add wontons to a frying pan with vegetable oil that is on medium high heat and sear until both sides are crispy, then serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
