Spicy Wontons in Chilli Sauce

Deliciously tender wontons filled with a savory spicy pork mixture, served in a vibrant, homemade chilli sauce that brings bold heat and flavor to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g ground pork
  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the chilli sauce:
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp dried red chilli flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 100ml water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine ground pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold to form a triangle, and press edges to seal. Optionally, bring the corners together and pinch to form a traditional wonton shape.
  4. Bring a pot of water to boil. Cook wontons in boiling water for 4-5 minutes or until they float and are cooked through. Remove and drain.
  5. For the chilli sauce, heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and dried chilli flakes; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Place cooked wontons on a serving plate and pour the chilli sauce over them.
  8. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, try shallow frying the wontons before tossing them in the chilli sauce. Serve with steamed jasmine rice to balance the heat.
