They look authentic and very appetizing!
Oh my goodness! I just need to get the wrappers, but I’ve got the other ingredients! I can’t wait…
Sichuan pepper really is numbing, the first few bites are weird… then you can’t get enough! This sounds great, Raymund — I may cheat and use some frozen wontons I have.
I might skip or reduce some of the spicy ingredients, but rather than that the wontons look and sounds wonderful. I also love how you styled and photographed the dish.

I’d like them in clear bone stock soup and not spicy.
