Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
2 teaspoons Asian chili paste or sambal oelek
1/2 cup water, plus more if needed
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, each cut into thirds
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Chicken stock or broth, homemade or store-bought, for boiling the wontons
50 wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Serrano chiles, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the spicy peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste and water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Set aside.
  • For the wontons: In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 inches of chicken stock to a boil.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. With your finger, dab the edges of the top half of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the top over to enclose the filling, press to seal the edges, then fold two corners in and press to seal the corners together. Place the finished wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
  • When you have enough wontons to begin to cook, gently transfer wontons into the boiling stock, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Simmer until the filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Continue forming wontons while the batches cook.
  • Transfer cooked wontons to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and garnish with some cilantro and serrano pepper slices. Enjoy!

These wontons were a bit too complicated to make. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

These wontons were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili sauce next time.

These wontons were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would drain them on paper towels next time.

Overall, I thought these wontons were pretty good. They were easy to make and the flavor was decent. I would make them again, but I would probably make a few changes to the recipe.

The peanut sauce was too thick for my liking. I had to add some water to thin it out.

These wontons were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
