Wontons in Crispy Chili Oil

There’s nothing quite like silky, well-filled wontons. The word wonton means “swallowing clouds” in Cantonese, and instantly one can imagine their delightful taste. Dip them in a savory sauce, and I promise, you won’t just be swallowing clouds—you’ll be floating among them. When cooking wontons, it’s essential they have enough room to move around in the pot. It’s better to cook them in batches than to boil everything at once.
