Cilantro Ginger Chicken Wontons

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 cup cilantro, chopped, plus extra for garnish
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 3-4 cloves garlic, grated
• 3 green onions, finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chicken broth
• ½ tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 package wonton wrappers
• Chili sauce for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, cilantro, ginger, garlic, green onions, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix all the ingredients together either by hand or a wooden spoon until well-combined and the proteins get a bit streaky on the sides of the bowl. Pick up the mixture and slam it down into the bottom of the bowl several times; this makes the mixture more springy.
2. Place ½ tablespoon of filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet two of the bottom edges with your finger and a little water. Create a triangle, by pressing the top edges over the filling, carefully pushing out any air. Then wet the two long corners of the triangle and connect them into a dumpling shape.
3. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, carefully drop in the desired number of wontons, and cook until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Garnish with cilantro and green onions, drizzle with chili sauce and enjoy!
