Marinating the Chicken Filling

Combine Ingredients
Combine the ground chicken, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed Sichuan peppercorns in a bowl.
Tip: To maximize flavor, marinate the chicken filling a few hours ahead.
2
Add Spring Onions
Add the spring onions and season with salt and pepper.
3
Refrigerate

Making the Wontons

1
Fill Wrappers
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a flat surface; place a teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center.
2
Seal Edges
Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
Tip: Ensure edges are sealed properly to prevent fillings from leaking.
3
Shape Wontons
Bring the two opposite corners together and seal with a dab of water, forming a classic wonton shape.
Tip: Prepare all wontons before starting to cook to manage time efficiently.
