Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup ground chicken
  2. 1 cup shrimp, chopped
  3. 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  4. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  5. 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  6. 1 package wonton wrappers
  7. 1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce
  8. 1 tablespoon chili sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped shrimp, minced ginger, chopped green onions, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Prepare a clean work surface and lay out wonton wrappers. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the wontons.
  3. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the chicken and shrimp mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  4. Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your fingertip, then fold the wrapper diagonally to create a triangle, pressing edges to seal completely.
  5. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlapping slightly, and press to seal, creating a traditional wonton shape.
  6. Heat a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop wontons into the water and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface and look translucent.
  7. Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain excess water.
  8. In a small bowl, mix sweet and sour sauce with chili sauce to create a spicy dipping sauce.
  9. Plate the wontons and serve immediately with the chili sweet and sour sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips

  1. Keep your wonton wrappers covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent them from drying out.
  2. Don't overfill the wontons - a teaspoon of filling is perfect to ensure they seal properly and cook evenly.
  3. Use cold water when sealing wontons to help the edges stick together more effectively.
  4. If you want to prep ahead, uncooked wontons can be frozen on a baking sheet, then transferred to a freezer bag for later use.
  5. For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of sesame oil to your filling mixture.
  6. Make sure your water is at a gentle boil to prevent the delicate wontons from breaking apart during cooking.
  7. Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature.
