Thai Wonton Tacos Recipes

THAI WONTON TACOS

Steps:

• FOR SLAW.
• Add all vegetable ingredients together, toss with rice vinegar and salt, cover and set aside.
• FOR SAUCE.
• Heat up olive oil in frying pan.
• Lightly toast sesame seeds.
• Combine all ingredients in pan, bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer.
• FOR MEAT.
• Cook cubed chicken or pork until almost done.
• Add simmering sauce to meat. Cook through.
• FOR WONTONS.
• Heat oil to frying temperature.
• Fry wontons in a "taco" shape (I find this is most easily done by letting the wontons cook for a second or two, then folding them in half. Make sure you leave enough space to put the meat filling in the taco and not seal them shut).
• Assemble wontons by adding meat filling in center. Sprinkle with slaw that has been set aside.

APPLEBEE'S CHICKEN WONTON

Steps:

• Step 1: In a bowl or seal-able plastic bag. Combine stir fry sauce, Asian toasted sesame dressing, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Add chicken and mix well with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Step 2: In a medium bowl toss coleslaw mix with 2 tablespoons of Asian sesame dressing. Set aside.
• Step 3: Heat olive oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken with the marinade and stir fry until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from the wok and transfer to a bowl. Add about 1/2 inch of oil to the wok over medium high. Fold the wonton wrappers into a triangle formation but do not seal. Place into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on one side. Turn once and fry until golden brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels.
• Step 4: To make tacos- place a small amount of the chicken mixture into the bottom of the fried wonton. Top with coleslaw mixture, green onion, cilantro and red onion.
