Wontons in Spicy Garlic Chili Oil (Keto, Paleo + Vegan Option)

So exciiiiiited to share this recipe with ya'll! I was so happy with how these turned out. The flavors were a dream! I must admit I get bored real quick eating just a protein with a vegetable, so I'm always trying to re-create well known recipes and make them healthy and low carb. So when it works- very exciting. I should also mention the way I shaped these at the end are definitely not authentic to a real wonton. But I was playing around with it and trying to figure out how to shape it, to make it work. So you go ahead and shape it whatever way you want! There are no rules in my kitchen! Just flavor and fun :)

Wontons in Spicy Garlic Chili Oil
Recipe by: The Daily Kale

Ingredients:

Wonton dough:
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Pinch of garlic powder
2 tbsp. psyllium husk powder
1 tsp Xanthan gum
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup warm water

Filling:
1/2 pound chicken
1 tbsp. tamari
4 tbsp. scallions (chopped)
1 tsp sesame oil
pinch of black pepper
pinch of garlic powder

Garlic Chili Oil:
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 tsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. chili oil
1 tbsp. golden monk fruit (Lakanto)
2 tbsp. tamari
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
Pinch of Black pepper
1/2 tsp Tapioca Flour or corn starch

Directions:

For the dough:

1. Stir together all the dry ingredients first.
2. Then add in the olive oil and 1/2 of the water. Slowly stirring until combined.
3. Slowly add in the rest of the water and continue to stir together. It will be sticky.
4. Set aside for 5 minutes so the mixture can set and come together better.
5. You will be able to knead the dough, do this and form into a big ball.
6. Cut the ball in to 8 even pieces.
7. Take two pieces of parchment paper and place 1 ball in between.
8. Flatten out with your hands into a square shape.
9. Place 1 tbsp. of the filling in the middle, and fold the other side on top in a triangle shape.
10. Take a little water with your finger and run it along the edge and press down to make sure the sides are closed.
11. Take the bottom part of the triangle and press inside. The top part of the wonton should be pressed together and pointed up. ​*Refer to the Images below on how I shaped it!*

How to cook the wontons:

• Place the wontons gently in a sprayed pan, and cook on a medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
• Sprinkle a little water into the pan with your hand and cover with a lid immediately so the steam will cook the top part of the wontons.
• Cook for about 3 more minutes on a low heat, covered.

For the filling:

• Sauté the chicken in a pan until cooked all the way through.
• Add in the other filling ingredients and mix together.

For the oil:

• In a small sauce pan place the olive oil and chopped garlic on a low heat and cook until fragrant.
• Add in the other ingredients except the Tapioca flour. Mix together well until combined.
• Turn off and take off of the heat, and add in the Tapioca and stir until it comes together as a glaze. This will happen fast and you want to make sure not to over cook this or it will get sticky!
• Pour over the wontons. And enjoy!
