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

Mystery Dish always brings good things.  You know this.

Steamed Jalapeno Pork Wontons Feature | Inspiration KitchenThis 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

Steamed Jalapeno Pork Wontons Feature | Inspiration KitchenLet 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.

Steamed Jalapeno Pork Wontons | Inspiration Kitchen-2This 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.

Jalapeno Pork Wontons with Spicy Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce

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

    Of course you honed in on those jalapeños! I wanted to as well, but time got away and I used up a leftover and made breakfast. haha I’ve never made a wonton, and that needs to change! Pinned. 🙂

        Glad you reminded me 😉 I did pronounce it wrong for decades, so it may take a while to sink in.

      Thank you Juliana! I have to admit – I got tired really quick. But I couldn’t give up because I know my readers want to make them, and I’m sure making 6 wontons wouldn’t be enough! Haha!

    I’ve never made wontons and I love them. I have no clue why I haven’t. If it’s got jalapeno in it you can bet this Texas girl is all in!

      You’ll love them Marye – but just know they take a lot of time! They are kind of tedious to make – so put on a good TV show and start wrapping! Haha! Have a great weekend!

    ALOL! I would have gotten tired after 24 too. Great minds and all that, K! These look delicious and I am sure I would have regretted not making all 48 after I had devoured the first two dozen! Pinned! Yum. Yum.

    Hahaha as much as I love wontons, I totally get lazy after making only a few too! My mom used to get us to help her wrap them and I absolutely dreaded it after 5 lol. Yours look absolutely mouthwatering! Of course I love the spicy jalapeno in here and that chili peanut sauce sounds perfect! I could easily devour all 24 in one sitting 🙂
