You can replace chicken with turkey meat for these tasty appetizers.
Ingredients
- 2 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, diced
- 3 stalks lemon grass, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger root
- 1/2 bulb garlic, cloves separated and peeled
- 1 fresh red chile pepper, chopped
- 2 bunches fresh coriander
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 50 wonton wrappers
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Directions
1. Combine the chicken, lemon grass, ginger, garlic, chile pepper, coriander, soy sauce and sesame oil in a food processor. Pulse until chicken is minced.
2. Separate all the wonton wrappers, laying them out on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges by dipping your fingers in water, and wiping the edge of each wrapper. Fold over into triangles, and press to seal. Take the two opposing points of the triangle, and fold around to join together.
3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 360 F. Deep-fry several wontons at a time, turning as needed, until lightly browned. Remove to drain on paper towels. Serve while hot.
