  • 4 green onions (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup cilantro (optional, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cilantro (if using). Mix until well combined.
  2. Assemble the wontons: Place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water and fold diagonally to seal tightly.
  3. Cook the wontons: Boil water in a pot or set up a steamer. Add wontons and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they float to the surface.
  4. Make the chilli sauce: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, chili oil, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to taste.
  5. Toss cooked wontons in the chilli sauce before serving hot with optional garnishes like sesame seeds or additional green onions.
