Sichuan Spicy Wonton in Red Oil

This thing is mind blowing, tongue numbing, addictive treat! Sichuan Spicy Wonton in Red Oil is a Chinese dish of delicious and mouth-watering wontons served in oil infused with Sichuan peppercorns and black vinegar.

Sichuan Spicy Wonton in Red Oil is one of the popular hole in the wall, street food you can find in the Sichuan province of China and if you’re not in China, I bet you that the China town in the city where you live will have several restaurants that sell this. It is certainly one of Chinese dishes not to be missed, a soft wonton filled with umami rich minced meat served in this addictive chilli oil, OMG, just typing this makes me drool. If you don’t eat spicy dishes then you are missing a lot, just by not trying this one, so train yourself slowly into eating something spicy so you can give this a shot.

Now for those already seasoned in eating spicy food and if you eat a lot of this dumpling at your favourite Chinese wonton shop, perhaps in a very regular basis then I think it’s time to learn cooking it from the comfort of your own home, not just to save some moolah but what you will be making at home can be better, because with your own home-made ones you can control what goes on it and adjust to suit your taste. At first it may be intimidating to make one but once you get the hang of it, making these wontons is a breeze, cooking them is quite quick too, you just need a max of 5 minutes to cook a batch of wontons and you’re good to go. And if you are saying this is all BS, give it that recipe below a go and see how it goes.
