Wontons are one of my childhood-favorite dim sums while growing up. There are so many ways to enjoy Wontons. I love it with noodles (Cantonese Style Wonton Noodle Soup), soup, or just eat it the way it is. However, one of the best ways is to eat wontons with spicy chili oil. There is a popular Sichuan dish named ็บขๆฒนๆๆ (Spicy Wontons in Red Chili Oil). Compared to the traditional version, my Spicy Wontons is much simpler and easier to prepare.
The Wontons are filled with plump bites of shrimp and very tender pork. It tastes both bouncy and juicy! Everyone mouthful brings you delightful happiness. Wontons are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Yes, you can enjoy it at anytime of the day.
