¼ cup chopped fresh ginger root
½ bulb garlic, cloves separated and peeled
1 fresh red chile pepper, chopped
2 bunches fresh cilantro
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Tips:

  • To make the wonton wrappers from scratch, you will need all-purpose flour, water, and salt. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms, then knead it for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • If you are using store-bought wonton wrappers, be sure to thaw them completely before using. You can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • To make the spicy chicken filling, you will need ground chicken, soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
  • To assemble the wontons, place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add a spoonful of the chicken filling to the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper up over the filling, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Pinch the edges of the wrapper together to seal it.
  • To cook the wontons, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the wontons and cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Remove the wontons from the pot and drain them on paper towels.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil.
