My family and I loved this! I'm trying to eat low carb and this definitely satisfied my craving for Asian food. I substituted fresh ground pork for the ground chicken and served it with gingered soy sauce and fried rice. I will definitely be making this again.

Yummy! We are always looking for ways to reduce the carbs and love Asian food, so this really fit the bill. We would love the wonton wrappers, but skipped them this time around. Made as directed and served with hot mustard. Thanks for sharing these tasty little treats. Made for No Nonsense Nibblers of ZWT 6! :)

Very very tasty. I used tofu instead of chicken and chicken bouillon instead of salt. I thought it had a bit too much pepper, but my husband didn't mind. Because tofu does not stick together very well, I used wonton wrappers and fried half and boiled half. They turned out fantastic. The mix made more than enough to fill all 50 wonton wrappers. Thanks so much for the easy recipe! I love eating wontons and now I can have them inexpensively anytime! Made for team SSaSSy for ZWT6.
