Zucchini Noodle Wontons are a delightful fusion of traditional Chinese flavors and low-carb goodness, featuring a savory filling wrapped in delicate zucchini noodles. This dish is not only visually appealing but also light and refreshing, perfect for a healthy meal.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• Ground chicken - 200 grams
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Egg - 1, beaten (for sealing)
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Water - for steaming

Steps

1. Using a spiralizer, create long strands of zucchini noodles and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, cornstarch, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
3. Take a small portion of the chicken mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and place it in the center of a zucchini noodle strand. Fold the noodle over the filling to form a wonton shape. Use a beaten egg to seal the edges.
4. Repeat the process until all the filling is used up. You should have around 12-14 wontons.
5. Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Arrange the wontons in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
6. Steam the wontons for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Remove from the steamer and serve hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions and cilantro if desired.
