– delicious and mouth watering spicy wontons in Sichuan red oil and black

Ingredients:
20 wonton wrappers, square in shape
1 small bowl water, to seal the wontons
2-3 cups water, to boil wontons
White sesame, for garnishing
Filling:
8 oz ground pork
2 stalks scallions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 dashes ground white pepper
Sauce:
1/3 – 1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese Chinkiang black vinegar
(preferred), or balsamic vinegar
2 – 3 tablespoons store-bought Sichuan chili oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
Some
cilantro leaves, chopped
Method:
1.
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients of the
Filling together. Set aside.
2.
Mix all the Sauce ingredients together. Set
aside.
3.
To wrap the wontons, place about a teaspoon of
the Filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Dab your index finger into the
small bowl of water, and then trace the outer edges of the wonton wrapper. This
will help seal the wontons.
4.
Fold the wonton up to form a triangle shape.
Pinch the wonton wrapper to seal tight and make sure there is no leakage. Using
the thumb and index finger of both hands, pinch and fold both corners of the
wonton downwards. Then, lift the right corner over the left corner, pinch to
seal tight. You might dab a little water on both corners to help seal the
wontons. Transfer the wontons to a floured surface or a plate lined with
parchment paper. This will ensure that the wontons don’t stick to the surface.
5.
Bring the water to boil. Gently drop all the
wontons into the water and gently stir the wontons with a ladle to prevent
sticking. Boil the wontons until they float to the top, about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the wontons out immediately with a strainer or slotted spoon. Shake
off the excess water and transfer the wontons to bowl. Add the desired amount
of the Sauce to the wontons and gently toss them to coat evenly. Transfer to a
serving platter, garnish with some sesame seeds and serve immediately.
