How to make Chicken Wonton with Red Chili Oil

For the Dressing

Combine red chilli flakes, paprika, Chinese five-spice powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Pour warm oil over the spice mixture and stir well. Set aside to infuse.

For the Filling

In a mixing bowl, mix the chicken mince, onion, green onion, ginger, soy sauce, oil, salt, black pepper, and white pepper until well combined.

To Assemble the Wontons

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Bring the corners together or fold over to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal and enclose the filling.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers.

To Cook the Wontons

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Gently place the wontons in the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon, drain well, and transfer to a serving plate.

To Serve

Serve the wontons hot, drizzled with the red chili oil dressing or accompanied by your choice of dipping sauce such as spicy garlic sauce or sweet-spicy tomato ketchup.
