SOY-BUTTER SCALLOP WONTONS

Steps:

• For the wontons: Mix the scallops, jalapeño, garlic, green onions, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl to combine.
• To assemble the wontons, have a small cup of water on the side for sealing the edges of the wrappers. Place a wonton wrapper in your non-dominant hand so that it is oriented like a diamond. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center of the wrapper. Dab a little water along the top edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press the edges tightly. Dab the 2 ends of the triangle with water and fold them together so that they touch. Pinch tightly to seal. Place the wonton on a lightly floured tray or plate and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the wontons in batches until floating and fully cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain out the wontons and transfer to a larger serving bowl or platter.
• For the soy-butter sauce: Combine the butter and chile flakes in a medium saucepan. Melt the butter over medium heat and bring to a simmer; continue to simmer for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce.
• Pour the soy-butter sauce over the wontons, toss to evenly coat and garnish with chopped green onions.
