Ingredients
For the wonton bundles
- 8 oz. (1/2 pound) ground veal
- 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced scallions
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flake
- 6 oz. (12 large) peeled, cleaned, raw shrimp
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Cooking oil spray
For Spicy Chili Crisp Dipping Sauce:
- 3 Tbsp. Spicy Chili Crisp
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. thinly sliced scallions
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Mix the veal, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a medium bowl. Mix the ingredients until the veal has a soft, sticky texture. This will help the filling hold together when it is cooked.
- Cut the shrimp into pieces about ½-inch thick. They should be large enough to hold their texture when cooked. Stir the cut shrimp into the veal mixture.
- Heat the oven to 400 F
- Spray the muffin tins well with cooking spray
- Fill a small dish with cool water.
- Pick up one wonton wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand
- place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper, use the tip of your finger to dab each corner of the wonton wrapper with a little water.
- Lift two opposite corners of the wrapper and press them together then lift the other two corners and press them against the corners already closed. You should have a small bundle with four corners that looks like a handkerchief pulled together at the ends. It isn’t necessary to close all the seams since they will be baked instead of fried.
- Place the completed wonton in an oiled muffin cup and continue until all 24 have been formed, and the muffin tins are filled.
- Spray the outside of the wonton wrappers with a light coating of oil, this will help them crisp in the oven.
- Bake the wonton bundles in the preheated oven, approximately 15 minutes, until the wrappers are crisp and starting to brown and the filling is fully cooked.
- The filling should be cooked to at least 165F but will likely reach 200F by the time the wrappers are crisped.
- While the wontons are baking make the sauce.
- Stir together the Spicy Chili Crisp, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, scallions, and toasted sesame oil.
- Transfer the baked wonton bundles from the muffin tins to a serving tray and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
To bake the wonton bundles in an air fryer pre-heat the air fryer to 375F and bake the wontons approximately 12 minutes.
Tip: The dipping sauce can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve
