Ingredients
  

Wonton Filling

  • 0.5 lb ground chicken lean
  • 0.25 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 0.5 tsp ginger grated fresh
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Other Ingredients

  • 1 package wonton wrappers (approx. 50 wrappers)
  • 3 cup vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • 0.25 cup water for sealing wrappers

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about one teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges and remove any air bubbles.
  • Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlapping them slightly, and dab with a bit of water to secure, forming a classic wonton shape. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Cooking

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the wontons.
  • Carefully place a few wontons into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-ginger sauce.

Notes

For a healthier option, you can bake or air-fry the wontons instead of deep-frying. For baking, brush with a little oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. For air frying, spray lightly with oil and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway.
