    Ingredients

    1/2 lb ground pork
    20 wonton wrappers
    4 scallions
    8 garlic cloves
    4 tbsp sesame oil
    4 tbsp soy sauce
    2 tbsp honey
    1 tbsp chinkiang vinegar
    2 tbsp sichuan peppercorns
    2 tbsp chili flakes

    Equipment

    stockpot
    fine mesh strainer

    Preparation

    Fill a stockpot full of water and place on high heat to boil.

    Finely slice the scallions.

    Combine the ground pork, a 1/4 of the soy sauce and 2/3 of the scallions in a bowl.

    Set the rest of the scallions aside, you'll use them for plating.

    Fill a small bowl with water.

    Lay the wontons on a clean surface, like a cutting board. Fill them with a small spoonful of the pork mixture. Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edge of the wonton.

    Fold one tip of the wonton wrapper across to meet the opposite tip to form a triangle.

    Pull the two corners of the newly formed triangle to meet, and seal with a little bit of water and a pinch. Set the wontons aside to rest.

    Place a skillet or small saucepan on high heat. Once the pan is hot add the sichuan peppercorns and toast them for 30 seconds.
    Add the sesame oil and garlic cloves to the toasted peppercorns and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the garlic cloves are golden brown.
    Set the fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup or bowl. Run the hot chili oil through the mesh strainer and discard the sichuan peppercorns and garlic.

    Add the chili flakes, honey, chinkiang vinegar, and soy to the hot chili oil. Mix.

    By now, the water should be boiling. Gently add the wontons to the second pot of boiling water. Cook until tender, approx. 4 minutes. Use a spoon or spyder to gently transfer the wontons into a bowl.
    Coat the wontons with the chili oil and scatter the remaining scallions on top.

    We absolutely loved this recipe. We had never made wontons before and thought it was fun putting them together. The result was amazing - fantastic flavor and the wontons melt in your mouth. By far our favorite recipe so far!

    We made this dish for the first time last night. It is so yummy!! The wantons were pretty easy to fold/wrap after the first few. The sauce is so delicious that I used broccolini to mop it up.
