Avgolemono Crispy Bites

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

   ~5 min
2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.

   ~2 min
3. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 8

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).

   ~10 min
9. 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. 10

    Remove the crispy bites with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
