Description

These Oriental Chicken Wontons offer a delightful twist on traditional dumplings by baking them to a golden crisp rather than frying. The filling combines ground chicken with fresh carrots, celery, ginger, and sherry for a robust, aromatic flavor profile. Perfect as an appetizer for parties or a light weeknight snack, they are easy to assemble and satisfy cravings for Asian-inspired cuisine without the mess of deep frying. Serve with plum or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook ground chicken or pork, stirring frequently, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in shredded carrot, chopped celery, soy sauce, dry sherry, cornstarch, and grated gingerroot. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
  5. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water to help it seal.
  6. Bring two opposite corners of the wrapper up over the filling and pinch them together in the center.
  7. Carefully bring the two remaining opposite corners to the center and pinch them together firmly to seal the wonton.
  8. Place the sealed wonton on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
  9. Brush the tops of the wontons with melted margarine or butter.
  10. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until wontons are light brown and crisp.
