Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers (square or round)
  • Cooking oil (vegetable or canola, for frying)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce (optional)
  • Diced green onions (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Sriracha or spicy mayo (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1-2 inches of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add wonton wrappers one at a time, folding them gently into a taco shape with tongs. Fry for 20-30 seconds on each side until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a separate skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium-low until simmering. Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking continuously until thickened. Remove from heat.
  4. Pour the teriyaki glaze over the cooked chicken and toss until evenly coated. Let the mixture simmer for another minute to absorb the flavors.
  5. Fill each crispy wonton shell with a spoonful of glazed chicken. Top with shredded cabbage, green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha or spicy mayo, if desired.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the wonton shells using a muffin tin. Adjust the teriyaki glaze to taste by adding more honey for sweetness or rice vinegar for tanginess. Prep the chicken and glaze ahead of time for faster assembly.
