Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients for the aromatic water in a small bowl. Stir to mix well and let infuse for 20 minutes. Strain and discard all the solid ingredients.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to mix well.
- Add the minced pork into a medium-sized bowl. Add the aromatic water, egg, cornstarch, and white pepper powder. Mix until it forms a smooth and sticky paste.
- Work on the wontons one at a time. Place about half a teaspoon of filling (or 1 teaspoon filling for bigger wontons) on the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom side over the filling, then roll the filling all the way across to the other side of the wrapper. Brush a thin layer of egg white on one end of the wonton wrapper. Bind both ends and press them together to lock the filling inside the wrapper. Place on a big plate, a finger's width apart.
- When you've finished 10 to 15 wontons, cover them with a wet paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
- If you are not going to cook and serve the wontons immediately, you can store them in the fridge for a day, or freeze them for up to a month. Seal the tray of wontons with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. When the wontons are completely frozen, you can transfer them to an airtight ziplock bag to free up freezer space.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the wontons, 20 at a time. Stir gently with a spatula constantly, to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Cook until the wontons are floating on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer 7 to 8 wontons into each bowl. Pour 2 tablespoons of the sauce, and 2 tablespoons of the hot broth used to boil the wontons, and serve.
- Mix the wontons well to coat them with sauce. Enjoy!

Seal the tray of wontons with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. When the wontons are completely frozen, you can transfer them to an airtight ziplock bag to free up freezer space.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add wontons. Stir gently to prevent from sticking. Cook until bringing the water to a boil again. Turn to medium low heat. Cover the pot with a small gap on one side, to prevent from boiling over. Continue boiling for 2 minutes (3 minutes for larger wontons). Stand beside the pot the entire time and monitor the broth. If the broth starts to boil over, uncover and stir, then replace the cover. Uncover, continue cooking for another minute, or until the wontons are cooked through.

SPICY SZECHUAN WONTONS
Steps:
- In a bowl, add the ground pork, egg, green onion, ground ginger, chicken broth, cornstarch. kosher salt, and ground white pepper.
- Using chopsticks or a spoon, vigorously stir in the same direction until everything is well combined. The mix will be wet and sticky.
- Take one of the wonton wrappers in your hand, place 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the middle, gently wet two of the edges with water, bring one corner to the opposite corner to form a triangle (or a half circle if using circle wonton wrappers). Seal the wonton making sure you press all the air bubbles out.
- Next moisten the two bottom points of the wonton, make a little dent in the center of the wonton filling, and then bring together bottom points to form a sort of boat shape. Repeat until all of the mixture is used. You'll get around 36-40 wontons.
- If not using wontons right away, place on a tray, freeze, and then transfer into a ziplock or container once frozen. When ready to use, just cook wontons straight from freezer.
- Boil: bring a pot of water to a boil, add the wontons (making sure not to overcrowd), and cook for 5-7 minutes or until all the wontons are floating to the top. Occasionally stir the wontons so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Steam: add wontons to a steamer and steam for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through.
- Fry: ONLY pan fry if using thicker wonton sheets. This is a wetter batter so you don't want to run the risk of the wontons exploding. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the wontons and fry for about 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Lower the heat to medium, add about ¼-½ cup of water to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the wontons are cooked through.
- Serve the wontons with the spicy Szechuan sauce!
- Mix all of the ingredients but the sesame seeds in a bowl. This sauce makes enough for two-three servings (12-18 dumplings).
- Pour sauce over wontons when ready to use.
- Use sesame seeds to garnish the dish.
STIR-FRIED WON TONS WITH SZECHUAN SAUCE
These are a little time consuming to make, but are worth the effort. The first time I made this recipe, I misread the amount of chili paste and added 2 tablespoons instead of 2 teaspoons and they were very spicy-hot, LOL. We like them with about 1 tablespoon of chili paste, but if you want them milder use the 2 teaspoons listed. From Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook by Leeann Chin.

Tips:
- Use fresh wontons: Fresh wontons have a more delicate flavor and texture than frozen wontons.
- Cook the wontons in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the wok: If you overcrowd the wok, the wontons will not cook evenly.
- Use a high-quality Sichuan sauce: A good Sichuan sauce will have a complex flavor with a balance of heat, sweetness, and sourness.
- Serve the wontons immediately: Stir-fried wontons are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Stir-fried wontons with Sichuan sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The crispy wontons are coated in a flavorful Sichuan sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover wontons.
