Ingredients:
- Fillings: I usually make the fillings with combination of chicken mince, prawn mince and spring onions. But in this recipe, I use chicken thigh mince and spring onions. Chicken thigh mince is ideal for this recipe, thigh meat has more fat content, more moist and juicy. Seasoning ingredients are very simple everyday ingredients you can easily find at your pantry, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pepper, ginger garlic paste, etc.
- Wonton Skin: Wonton skin is also called wonton wrapper, basically made of flour, egg and water. For quick and easy recipe, I used store bought wonton wrappers. You can buy wrapper in most Chinese/Oriental grocery stores. If you cannot find wonton wrappers, you can use dumpling wrappers for this recipe.
- Chilli Oil Topping: In this recipe wontons are boiled and served with loads of chilli oil topping. This spicy chilli oil mixture is a perfect combination spicy, sweet and sour flavours all together. You can add Sichuan-Style chilli oil or regular chilli oil in the sauce mixture. Sichuan chilli oil is used in Authentic Sichuan-Style recipe. It has a unique taste and fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns . If you don't like the buzzy taste of Sichuan peppercorns, you can use regular chilli flakes in oil instead.
Chilli oil bottles are available at Chinese/Oriental grocery stores. Cannot find one? Don't worry. You can easily make your own chilli oil at home. ( Check out my easy homemade chilli oil instructions here : )
