Ingredients
  • ½ pound chicken loins, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons carrot, finely grated
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Kikkoman soy sauce
  • Wonton dough
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Oriental Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon scallion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Kikkoman soy sauce -or to taste-
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon scallions (green part)
Instructions
  1. Combine the chicken, garlic, ginger, and scallions in a bowl.
  2. Heat the tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken until cooked, and add the carrot, salt, pepper, and Kikkoman soy sauce. Turn off the heat and reserve.
  3. When the chicken is at room temperature, make the tequeños: Put one teaspoon filling in one of the edges of each wonton dough sheet. Wet your fingertip with a little water and moist the edges of the wonton dough. Roll like a jelly roll, beginning with the side of the filling. Press the two sides to seal and make as many tequeños as possible.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan and fry the tequeños until golden brown, (about two minutes per side). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
  5. To make the sauce:
  6. Heat the oil in a skillet, fry the garlic, ginger and scallion until fragrante. Turn off the heat and cool.
  7. Combine with the mayonnaise, Kikkoman soy sauce, sesame oil, and stir.
  8. Put the sauce in a dish next to the tequeños, and sprinkle with scallion greens.
