Ingredients

• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped, for garnish
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Chili oil - 1/4 cup

• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, and then fold the two corners of the triangle towards each other. Press to seal the edges.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the wontons in batches for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the chili oil, rice vinegar, and sugar over low heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Place the cooked wontons in a serving dish and pour the chili oil sauce over them. Toss gently to coat.
6. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
