The Best Wontons Recipe

If you like Chinese Wontons, you’re going to love this Red Sauce Wontons recipe. It’s generally sweet and spicy but you can control exactly how much you want of each, easily. It’s true that this recipe was once on P.F. Chang’s menu. I’m not quite sure if it is anymore but I’ve broken down a restaurant size recipe and created this family size equivalent with medium heat. So feel free to adjust the Chili Oil, Chili Paste and sugar to your desired preference.

Recipes made with Wontons

You can turn this dish into a spicy wonton soup, if you prefer, and I tell you how to do that below the ingredients. If you’re looking for more of a traditional Wonton Soup recipe, however, CLICK HERE. You might also be interested in my Pot Stickers and my Shrimp dumplings recipe. They’re both amazing and I show you how to make a dipping sauce with the dumplings recipe.

Pot Stickers are also called Gyoza, which is seasoned and flavor ground pork, wrapped in a round wonton wrapper and shaped like a crescent moon, steamed, then pan fried. Shrimp Dumplings are very similar, only those wonton wrappers are square and are stuffed with seasoned and ground shrimp, instead, then steamed and pan fried. Oh, and did I mention the Dipping Sauce? Mmm, mm, mm!
