These Spicy Wontons are inspired by Din Tai Fung. I used their Shrimp & Pork Spicy Wontons as inspiration and grabbed a pack Wei-Chuan brand Pork & Shrimp Wontons. This is my favorite brand of frozen wontons! I have found them at most international grocery stores. You can also made homemade as well. Recipe Tin Eats has a yummy version if you want to try making your own.
Recipe Ingredients
- 27 Wontons I used 1 pack of frozen Wei-Chuan Pork & Shrimp Wontons; you can use homemade or any frozen wontons you prefer
- 2 tbsp Green Onion dark green top part only; sliced at an angle to serve
Sauce
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes use less based on spice preference
- 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice
- 1/2 tsp Sichuan Pepper I crushed Sichuan Peppercorns into powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil I used avocado oil
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 3 tbsp Chili Oil adjust based on spice preference – can substitute with more vegetable oil or sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce I used low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Black Vinegar can also use rice wine vinegar
Recipe Instructions
- Cook the wontons in boiling water according to package instructions for frozen wontons or about 4 minutes for freshly made wontons. They will float when they are ready. Transfer to bowls using a slotted spoon.
- Meanwhile, add sugar, red pepper flakes, Chinese five spice, Sichuan pepper, salt, and minced garlic to a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Heat the vegetable oil, sesame oil, and chili oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat until hot. Pour over the garlic mixture. You will hear the garlic sizzle. Then stir in the light soy sauce and black vinegar.
- Evenly pour the sauce among bowls of wontons. Garnish with sliced green onions.
