    • Use crumbled tofu instead of ground chicken to make these vegetarian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Wash hands with soap and water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Combine salt, sugar, cumin, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, cornstarch, and sesame oil in a large bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Add ground meat and vegetables. Mix well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Place 1 tablespoon of mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Brush wrapper edges with water or egg white.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Fold wrapper diagonally so corners line up, and press edges together to seal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Bring the side two corners together over the pouch of filling and pinch to close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      8. Spray a steamer basket with nonstick spray. Add wontons so they do not touch. Cover and steam over simmering water for 6 to 7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      9. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n
