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
- ⅓ 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the pan-fried wontons with your dipping sauce and enjoy!
