Mystery Dish always brings good things. You know this.

This month’s Mystery Dish was no different – except that it was an amazing list of ingredients that I could hardly wait to get my hands on!

I was {thisclose} to making a dessert, but you know me…I saw the jalapenos and I got stars in my eyes and started designing a savory recipe.

#somethingsneverchange

Let me just say, this recipe made WAY over 24 wontons. But…, I got tired at 24…

So, just know that you can get least two times the number of wontons than I did out of this recipe.

I know you can do it, you little wonton maker, you! 🙂 Me? Not so much. Me tired.

This is some jalapeno goodness wrapped up in paper thin wonton wrappers, then tossed in a hot skillet for 1 minute then splashed with some wah-wah, slam on the lid and instant steamy goodness will come out of that pot.

Don’t be fooled. Easy, peasy.

I *loved* Gloria’s list this month! Such endless possibilities. Here was this month’s line-up and my choices (highlighted).

cherries
wontons
baking chips
jalapenos

These Steamed Jalapeno Pork Wontons are so flavorful with just a few ingredients. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

Course: Appetizers

Author: Kristi

Ingredients

1 pound pork loin ground
1 large jalapeno finely chopped (roughly 1/4 cup)
1/2 to 1 cup water
1/3 cup from an 8-ounce can whole water chestnuts, chopped fine
1/4 cup roasted red pepper finely chopped
1 .66 ounce package chives (roughly 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cracked black pepper
1 14 ounce package Won Ton Wrappers

Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup chili garlic sauce
4 tablespoons soy sauce
cooking spray

Instructions

Grind pork loin in a food processor until finely ground.
Spray a large, deep cooking pan with cooking spray. Add pork loin and jalapeno and cook on medium heat** until pork is done. Remove from heat, set aside and let cool.
Once cool, mix pork and jalapenos with water chestnuts, roasted red pepper, chives, salt and black pepper.
Lay out wonton wrappers out in a single layer on a cutting board. Add one small teaspoon of meat mixture in the center. Then, rub water around all edges of the wonton wrapper and fold corner to corner and seal.
Heat oil over high heat until hot. Add wontons and cook on M-H for one minute. Add a 1/8 cup of water, place lid on and let steam.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or the one provided!

Notes

**pork loin is very lean by itself, so don't overcook, cook slower if necessary
