Chicken Wontons with Raspberry Szechuan Sauce
1
In a skillet over medium heat, combine first 5 ingredients and stir until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put 1 tsp (5 mL) of ground chicken mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with water. Fold wrapper in half to make a triangle and press edges together to seal. Brush two tips of the triangle with water and press tips together to seal. Place on parchment. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
3
Lightly brush each wonton with oil. Bake 20-30 minutes or until wontons are golden and crisp. Serve immediately with Raspberry Szechuan Sauce for dipping.
Raspberry Szechuan Sauce
1
In a blender or food processor, puree raspberries. Remove seeds by straining puree through a sieve, using a spatula to press pulp through while scraping the underside of the sieve.
2
In a saucepan, combine puree with next 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to pan, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Serve warm as a dipping sauce for wontons or Chinese dumplings. Makes about ¾ cup (175 mL).
Notes: The sauce is best made the day before to allow the flavours to blend. Store sauce in the fridge then re-warm in the microwave. If the sauce is too thick, stir in water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until sauce reaches the desired consistency.
