These pork-filled wontons are doused in chili oil and vinegar sauce to be a tangy, spicy, juicy bite we can’t get enough of.
I love this dish. It’s sour, spicy, juicy and tender all at the same time. It is simply delicious. Irresistible.
After trying this dish at the restaurant, I told myself there’s no other way I want my dumplings served to me in the future. It has to be in a red sauce, with loads of chili oil and black vinegar – the more the merrier. That’s a bit extreme I know, but that’s life’s little pleasure for me.

Instructions
- Combine minced pork, ginger, oyster sauce, half of spring onion, half of coriander, egg, salt, sesame oil, fish sauce and white pepper. Marinate overnight in fridge.
- Place about 1 heaped teaspoon of pork mixture in a wanton skin wrapper, folding half horizontally first, and then the bringing the folded edges together to form an ingot.
- Repeat for the remaining wanton skin wrappers till all the minced pork mixture is used up.
- Boil water with with 1 tsp oil. Add wantons into water and cook for 3 – 4 min until the skins become transparent. Spoon out into serving bowls.
- In the meantime, combine chilli oil, black vinegar, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, sugar, salt, fish sauce, garlic and the remaining spring onion and coriander. Mix well.
- For each serving of wanton, spoon 1/2 cup soup from cooking the wantons into the serving bowl. Spoon in 2 tbsp chilli oil mixture to mix.
- Garnish with remaining coriander to serve.
Notes
Spoon the wantons out quickly after the skins turn transparent. Overcooking would lead to the skins becoming too soft and limpy and breaking easily into the pot of cooking water.
Very interesting and looks delicious. I want to try making this for myself and for my Mom. Thank you for the recipe!?
Thanks Megan for your comments. Hopefully you will love these wantons as much as I do – and its spiciness too!
