Fried chicken wontons

Ingredients (serves 4)
1 package ground chicken
4 green onions finely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 package small won ton wraps
1 egg
Lots of vegetable oil for frying


Directions
In a bowl combine the chicken, green onions, ginger (I just peel it with the back of my spoon and then use the cheese grater), soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well.


Beat the egg in a separate bowl, and to wrap or form the wontons simply put one teaspoon of the chicken mixture in one won ton wrap.Use the egg as a glue and form a shape, I personally do it from one corner to the other and then the other two. You can create your own shapes! Just make sure you close them tight and push the air out. Here's a little video for help:




Heat the oil on medium-high heat in a pan, based on how big your pan is the amount of oil you'll use, just want make sure when you drop them that they'll be covered in the oil. Also wait for the oil to become hot before frying, you can test this by dropping a little extra dough and see if it bubbles. 


Wait 2-3 minutes or until they become golden brown. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping, or create your own dipping sauce by whisking some leftovers from the ingredients: Some soy sauce, ginger and green onions!


Enjoy!

Make sure you create your own shapes!
