Ingredients
- 24 square wrappers
- 1/2 pound finely ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons togarashi seasoning
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Stir the chicken, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and togarashi together in a bowl until evenly mixed.
- Place about a tablespoon of the mixture on a wrapper.
- Wet the edges with water and fold to form a triangle. Press the edges together firmly. Fold the corners in, then set aside.
- Heat about 2–3 inches of oil in a pot or heavy-duty foil pan on the griddle, aiming for about 350°F. For shallower frying, pour a thick layer of oil directly on the griddle.
- Fry the wontons in batches. Turn them once, cooking until both sides turn a deep, golden color—roughly 3–4 minutes. If they brown too fast, lower the heat. The filling needs enough time to cook through.
- For shallow-frying, once both sides have browned, cover the wontons with a dome. Inject a splash of water under the dome to produce steam, then let them cook for 2–3 more minutes. Add more water if needed.
- Move finished wontons to a plate.
- Serve warm with a vinegar and soy sauce blend for dipping.
