Ingredients

For pan-frying the wontons:

  • 1-2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • Wontons fresh or frozen (no need to thaw); enough to cover 10-inch/25cm frying pan
  • cup water

For the sesame dipping sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon sesame paste
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Chili oil (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon scallion (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat a 10-inch/25cm non-stick pan over medium high heat, and add the neutral oil. Add the wontons in one layer to the pan, and fry for a few minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  2. With the pan still over medium-high heat, use a cover as a shield and add ⅓ cup water. Cover immediately, and steam the wontons over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes, or until most of the water has evaporated.
  3. Meanwhile, mix your dipping sauce. Combine the sesame paste with the hot water until you get a smooth thin consistency. Add the light soy sauce, chili oil (if using), sugar, garlic and scallion. Mix well.
  4. Serve the pan-fried wontons with your dipping sauce and enjoy!
