Sichuan Chili Oil Wonton (紅油抄手)

Category: Dumplings, Snack
Region: Sichuan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. square wonton wrappers
  • scallion and cilantro chopped for garnish

Pork Stuffing

  • 8 oz. ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons scallion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Chili Oil Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chinkiang black vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Sichuan spicy chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced

Instructions

  • Combine all the pork stuffing ingredients together and mix well. Set aside. Put about one teaspoonful of the pork stuffing in the center of the wrapper. Turn the wrapper so that the corners are facing up and down and left and right. Lift the bottom corner and curl it over the stuffing, then tuck it behind and slightly under the stuffing. Next fold the left corner to the middle of the dumpling. Fold the right corner to the middle so that it slightly overlaps the left corner then press to seal. This recipe yields about 20 to 25 wontons.
  • Combine all the chili oil sauce ingredients together and mix well. Divide the sauce into four bowls and set aside.
  • Put about two quarts of water in a three-quart stockpot. Heat until it starts to boil. Add the wontons to the pot. Boil the wontons for about three minutes so that the stuffing is cooked through. Drain the wontons thoroughly and divide them equally into the bowls with the chili oil sauce. Garnish with chopped scallion and cilantro and serve immediately.
