Instructions

Wonton Cups

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

  • Take two wonton wrappers in your hand. 
Lay them directly on top of each other.
 Take the top wonton wrapper and turn it 90 degrees, so the corners are all facing opposite directions.

  • Place in one muffin tin slot and press down gently. 
Repeat with remaining wontons.

  • Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on these to make sure they don’t burn.
  • Remove from muffin tin and set aside to cool.

Salad Dressing

  • Place vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger into a small bowl.
  • Whisk until fully combined. Set aside.

Chinese Chicken Salad

  • Place romaine, celery, carrots, green onion, cilantro, and roasted peanuts into a large bowl.
  • Toss with desired amount of dressing (you’ll definitely have leftover dressing).
  • Taste and season with salt, if necessary.
