How to cook deliciously - Chicken Wontons In Chili Oil

1. Stage

In a medium heatproof bowl, combine ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and brown sugar.

2. Stage

In a small skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Pour oil over ginger mixture and stir until mixture stops sizzling. Stir in soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool slightly.

3. Stage

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

4. Stage

Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon chicken mixture into center of a wonton wrapper. Lightly brush edges of wrapper with water and fold over filling to create a triangle. Pinch edges to seal. Wet one of the bottom corners of the triangle with water. Fold two bottom corners of triangle over each other and press to seal corners together. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

5. Stage

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half of wontons and cook until tender and chicken is cooked through (test with an instant-read thermometer or carefully open one to check), about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer wontons to a colander set over a large heatproof bowl.

6. Stage

Return water to a boil and cook second half of wontons. Drain and return both batches of wontons to pot. Pour half of chili oil over wontons and toss to coat.

7. Stage

Arrange wontons on a platter. Top with scallions. Serve with remaining chili oil alongside.
