red chili oil

soy sauce

black vinegar

teaspoons garlic, minced

Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional)

sugar

cup roasted peanuts, crushed

Cook the wontons

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water to boil over medium-high heat. Add wontons and gently stir with a spatula, and make sure that they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Transfer the wontons to a plate with a strainer.

Make the chili oil sauce

Mix together the chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional), and sugar.

Assemble the chili oil wontons

Slowly pour the chili oil sauce over the wontons and gently stir to coat the wontons. Sprinkle peanuts, sesame seeds and cilantro on top. Serve immediately.

Oh boy that chili sauce looks bomb. I will be making this this week. Can’t wait!
