Wonton Burger

The Wonton Burger is a delightful fusion of traditional Chinese flavors and Western burger fare, featuring juicy protein-packed chicken enveloped in a crispy wonton shell. Served with a zesty dipping sauce, this unique dish is both satisfying and fun to eat.

Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 250 grams
• Wonton wrappers - 8 pieces
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying
• Sriracha sauce - for serving
• Lettuce leaves - 4, for serving
• Cucumber - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
2. Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it over to form a triangle, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
3. In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the wonton burgers (3-4 at a time) and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the fried wonton burgers and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. To assemble, place a fried wonton burger on a lettuce leaf, add cucumber slices, and drizzle with mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce. Serve immediately.
