Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 10 wontons, fresh or frozen
  • 4 + 1/2 cups water, divided
  • 1/4 cup red chili oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon black vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, crushed 
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds 
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instruction

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water to boil over medium-high heat. Add wontons and gently stir with a spatula, and make sure that they don't stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook until water begins to boil again, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cold water and bring to a boil again. Cook until the wontons float to the top, about 2 minutes. Transfer the wontons to a plate with a strainer.
  • Mix together the chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional), and sugar.
  • Slowly pour the chili oil sauce over the wontons and gently stir to coat the wontons. Sprinkle peanuts, sesame seeds and cilantro on top. Serve immediately.
