Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
~5 min - 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
~2 min - 3
Slowly temper the egg-lemon mixture by gradually whisking in about 1 cup of the hot chicken broth. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
~3 min - 4
Pour the tempered egg-lemon mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chicken broth. Stir constantly over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
~8 min - 5
Remove from heat and stir in the cooked rice, shredded chicken, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Let the filling cool completely.
~10 min - 6
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled filling in the center of each wrapper.
~5 min - 7
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with a little water and fold them into triangles or small purses, sealing the edges well to prevent leakage during frying. Ensure there are no air pockets.
~5 min - 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
~10 min - 9
Carefully fry the stuffed wonton wrappers in batches, about 3-4 at a time, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan.
~5 min - 10
Remove the crispy bites with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
~1 min
Tips
- Ensure the filling is completely cooled before stuffing the wonton wrappers. Warm filling can make the wrappers soggy and difficult to seal.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few hours, but the crispiness will diminish.
