(Keep covered with a damp towel while working.)

❓ Q & A

Q: Can I pan-fry or air-fry the wontons?

Yes!

• Pan-fry: Shallow-fry until golden, then steam with a splash of water
• Air-fry: Brush lightly with oil, cook at 190°C / 375°F for 8–10 min

Q: How spicy is this dish?

Medium-spicy. Reduce chili oil or chili garlic sauce for mild, or double them for extra heat.

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. Freeze uncooked wontons on a tray, then store in freezer bags for up to 2 months. Cook straight from frozen.

Q: Can I substitute the chicken?

Yes. Ground turkey, shrimp, or even tofu (with extra seasoning) work well.

Q: What can I serve with this?

• Steamed rice
• Asian cucumber salad
• Light broth or hot & sour soup

🌟 Pro Tips

• Don’t overfill the wrappers—1 teaspoon is perfect
• Always add lime juice or vinegar last for brightness
