Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 package of wonton wrappers (about 40 wrappers)
- Vegetable oil, for frying or brushing
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the chopped cabbage, sliced green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted and everything is well combined.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper over to create a triangle, and press to seal. Repeat this step until all filling is used up.
- For cooking, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat for frying, or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for baking. For frying, add the wontons in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. For baking, arrange the wontons on a cookie sheet, brush lightly with oil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes until crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the wontons from the oil or oven and let them drain on paper towels. Serve them warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and a side of hot sauce for dipping.
