Ingredients  

For the wontons:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/3 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 36 square wonton wrappers

For the sauce:

  • 2 Tablespoons Thai Toasted Chili Paste
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

Instructions 

Make the wontons:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. 
  • Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges using your finger dipped in water then fold the wontons in half to form triangles. Bring the two ends of the wontons together so that the tips are touching and seal them with water, pressing them lightly together.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the wontons and cook until the wonton wrapper is translucent and the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. 
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the wontons and transfer them to a serving bowl then make the sauce.

Make the sauce:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili paste, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.
  • Pour over the wontons and serve, garnished with additional sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
