Chicken Wontons in Chili Broth is a delicious Chinese main course option. make it this week and enjoy with family and friends. Here is how to make them.
About this recipe
Wontons are an important part of the Chinese Cuisine. Stuffed with toothsome filling of spices, these are first steamed and then boiled in a broth or a soup and served along with it. I am saying this from my experience that these are really easy to prepare and serve.
Ingredients
To make these wontons, I used minced chicken, onions, garlic, spring onion greens and mushroom- the usual veggies used for Chinese preparations for the filling which complemented the sauces very well.
Recipe Summary
I steamed the Wontons with the help of a steamer so that they remain succulent and palatable. For the broth, I experimented with Chili Oil, Chicken Stock and Oyster Sauce and the result was nothing but amazing.
I fell in love with its mildly sweet and spicy flavor. In case you wish to try a vegetarian version of this dish then you could use the veggies that I have suggested and still make the dish equally tastier.
Serving Suggestions
You can also serve these Wontons along with Schezwan Fried Rice and Hakka Noodles, and your meal for the day would certainly taste yummier.
These are even perfect as a quick party snack.
So, instead of going to a lavish restaurant for a Chinese meal, I recommend that you at least once try out these easy to make Chinese dishes at home and savor them with joy.
