Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 slice ginger, grated
  • 250 grams (8 ounces) chicken meat, minced
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 30 wonton wrappers
  • Oil for stir-frying
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • Dipping sauce of your choice

Directions

1

Heat wok and add oil, drizzling the oil down the sides of the wok. Stir-fry the crushed garlic, ginger and onion.

2

Add the chicken meat and stir-fry on high heat until the chicken browns. Add the seasonings, stirring.

3

Remove the wok from the burner and allow the mixture to cool.

4

Set out the wonton wrappers with a small bowl filled with water.

5

Lay out 1 wonton wrapper, and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the middle.

6

Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to wet.

7

Take another wonton wrapper and place it on top in a way that forms a star shape (the top wrapper looks like a diamond instead of a square).

8

Continue with the rest of the mixture.

9

Deep-fry the wontons a few at a time, sliding them carefully into the wok so that the oil doesn't splatter.

10

Deep-fry until they turn golden and drain on paper towels.

11

Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce or the dipping sauce of your choice.
