Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
  • Square wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup water
  • Vegetable oil
  • Chopped chives, for garnish
  • Golden plum sauce, found in Asian markets

Directions

Put the chicken, lime juice, honey, red curry paste, and cilantro into a medium bowl and mix well by hand.

Lay out 10 wonton wrappers in a row. Put 1 heaping teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each square. Working quickly, dip your fingers into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton. Fold it over the filling to form a triangle, pressing well to seal. Curl the 2 points in towards each other, moisten 1 point and press them together to form a bishop's hat. Repeat with the remaining wontons and freeze. The recipe may be made up to this point 1 week in advance.

Pour 3 inches of the vegetable oil into a large saucepan and place over medium heat until a bread cube dropped into the oil browns within 30 seconds. When ready to cook, drop the wontons into the hot oil in batches of 6 until puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove and let the excess oil drain. Garnish with chopped chives and serve with Golden plum sauce on the side.

    I have also tried this recipe using ground pork instead of ground chicken. My favourite is with the pork. I also add a bit of finely grated carrot to the mixture and roll it up in a spring roll wrapper, then bake it for a lighter version. It is very delicious. I have also tried adding a bit of finely chopped iceberg lettuce, but it added a bit too much moisture.

    These were great- I'd never made wontons before, and I didn't totally submerge them in oil, but they were still very good. I'm going to try them with shrimp next time.

    If this is the only thing that I ever fry in my deep fryer, it was well worth the purchase. This is a recipe loved by all and I am looking forward to the release of "Talk With Your Mouth Full". Thanks for another great recipe. I love the praise.
