Description
Celebrate Chinese New Year this year with easy-to-make chicken and cilantro wontons!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, Diced Into 1 Inch Cubes
- 3-½ cups Cilantro, Loosely Chopped
- 3 Tablespoons Ginger, Chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, Halved
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 85 Wonton Wrappers
Preparation
Combine chicken, cilantro, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil into a food processor. Process on low for about 30 seconds until mixture is chopped finely.
Scoop a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the centre of a wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water and smear along the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to create a rectangular shape and press down along the side and top edges to seal the mixture inside.
Take the two bottom edges and wrap them under to overlap. Add a dap of water on the bottom edges to make them stick together. Repeat until all the chicken mixture is used up.
To store, place wontons on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour. Then transfer wontons into resealable bags or tupperware and use as desired.
When you are ready to eat these wontons, you can pan-fry them and serve with a side of dipping sauce or use them to create a wonton soup.
