These tasty treats are commonly served as an appetizer or snack in China. I've adapted this recipe from one I found for pork combined with the tips my best friend's mother (who is from Taiwan) taught me about Chinese cooking. Ingredients:
1 chicken breast, cut into small pieces |
4 tablespoons light soy sauce |
2 tablespoons sesame oil |
1 green onion, finely sliced |
1 teaspoon oyster sauce |
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds |
24 wonton wrappers |
1 cup chicken broth |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and stir fry in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Let cool until warm.
2. In a bowl, combine chicken with remainder of soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, oyster sauce and sesame seeds.
3. Put a small amount of the mixture into each wonton wrapper and fold diagonally. Putting a little bit of water on the edges helps seal them, but it often takes a bit of pressing. Make sure they are sealed so that the sauce doesn't leak out.
4. Put the chicken broth and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
5. Drop the wonton parcels into the saucepan and boil for 3-5 mins (they will look like cooked noodles when they are done). Only put a few in at a time so they are not touching as they tend to stick together.
6. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve warm with soy sauce to dip.
