Steps

1

Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, grated ginger, chopped green onion, and white pepper. Set aside.
2

Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, combine ground pork, shrimp paste, grated garlic, grated ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, white pepper, minced green onions, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3

Wrap the Wontons: Place a small amount of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet two adjacent edges, fold into a triangle, seal, create a small dimple in the center, wet one wing tip, and pinch the two tips together.
4

Boil the Wontons: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Swirl the water and gently drop in the wontons. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Boil for about 5 minutes or until wontons float and are cooked through.
5

Drain and Plate: Strain the wontons and transfer them to a serving bowl.
6

Sauce Them: Pour the prepared Sichuan sauce generously over the wontons.
7

Garnish and Serve: Top with crushed Sichuan peppercorns, sesame seeds, and chopped roasted peanuts. Enjoy immediately!
