I made these chicken wontons and they came out delicious. They are great in soup or dipping them in coconut aminos as a side. Next I’ll try some different flavored dumplings. This is my first time successfully making dumplings and I am so happy with how they came out. They are time consuming but well worth the effort because they are so much more fresh than store-bought.
Chicken Wontons
Servings 5 Servings
Equipment
- Bowl
- Steamer
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 3 stalks Green onion Green parts only
- 1/2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp Cornstarch Optional, but gives more flavor
- 1 pkg Wonton skins
Instructions
- Mix together in a bowl the ground chicken, spices, egg, and green onion until combined. Add the cornstarch and mix.
- Put about 1tsp meat mix in the middle of the skin and fold over and press sides to adhere. Please see photos above. Take the 2 pointy ends and press them together in front of the wonton.
- I steamed my dumplings in the instant pot for 4 minutes on the steam function. I steamed them in batches because I have a small 3qt instant pot that maybe only fit 10 wontons at a time. Cook the wontons before storing in the refrigerator because if you store raw wontons in the refrigerator the meat juice will seep out and make a mess. You can also steam in a traditional stovetop steamer for about 20 minutes.
- Eat the wontons as is after cooking or add them to soup. They are delicious on their own with some coconut aminos to dip them in.
