Spicy Wontons (Din Tai Fung Copycat)
These spicy wontons are inspired by Din Tai Fung! I love their spicy wontons, but don't live near one of their restaurants. If you're in the same situation, this copycat recipe will help satisfy the craving!
Servings: 27 wontons
Equipment
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 tablespoon Green Onion dark green top part only; sliced at an angle to serve
Sauce
- 2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes use less based on spice preference
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- 1/2 teaspoon Sichuan Peppercorns I crushed Sichuan Peppercorns into powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon Avocado Oil or neutral oil of choice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 3 tablespoon Chili Oil adjust based on spice preference - can substitute with more vegetable oil or sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce I used low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Black Vinegar can also use rice wine vinegar
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 avocado 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.
