What makes this dish special?
Little golden parcels made for dipping and passing around. A good version is less about extravagance than balance: ingredients stay recognizable and each bite has contrast.
The building blocks are wonton wrappers, minced chicken, ginger and spring onion. Keep the preparation simple enough that the main flavors can shine.
How it comes together
Season filling; fold securely; fry in batches until golden and cooked through.
A light sweet-sour dip is plenty. Serve it fresh, alongside rice, a quick vegetable and something sharp or pickled. That combination turns one dish into a generous table.
Keep cooking.
Try it alongside a contrasting plate: something fresh, something crisp, or a bowl of simply steamed rice.
