Ingredients
- 20 pieces Frozen or fresh won tons (filled with pork, chicken, or vegetables)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, lightly crushed
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the won tons according to the package instructions (usually 3 to 5 minutes) until they are fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, chili paste, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, water, and cornstarch until well combined. This will be your Szechuan sauce. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 4
Add the cooked won tons to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Remove the won tons from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, ginger, Szechuan peppercorns, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Give the prepared Szechuan sauce a quick stir and pour it into the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the fried won tons to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Transfer the stir-fried won tons to a serving plate. Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this spicy, savory dish!
