For the Szechuan Sweet Chilli Sauce
Instructions
For the Sauce
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together light soy sauce, stir fry sauce, ketjap manis, mirin, and white sugar.
Step 2
Heat a small pan on low heat, add neutral oil, and sauté garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant.
Step 3
Add soy sauce mixture, and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the sweet chili sauce, mix, and continue to simmer.
Step 5
To thicken the sauce a little more, make a cornstarch slurry, and slowly add to sauce until desired thickness.
For the Wraps
Step 6
Cut dumpling wrappers into thin slices, about 1/16 of an inch thick, and refrigerate.
Step 7
In a medium sized pot or pan, preferably cast iron, heat neutral oil until 375 degrees.
Step 8
Carefully add dumpling strips into oil, making sure not to overcrowd as they will clump together and break. Deep fry for 30-45 seconds until light golden brown. Remove from oil onto a paper towel to drain.
Step 9
In the same oil, bring back to temp at 375 degrees.
Step 10
Add cornstarch to a bowl or plate to dredge chicken strips and mix until all chicken is completely coated.
Step 11
Add dredged chicken into oil and deep fry for 2 minutes, being sure to separate pieces to avoid clumping.
Step 12
Make sure chicken is fully coated and avoid excess cornstarch, ensuring a good texture and minimal sticking.
Step 13
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel, and set aside in a medium sized mixing bowl.
Step 14
While chicken is resting, prepare your lettuce by hitting against a flat surface to remove root.
Step 15
Cut the head in half, and remove the outermost wilted layers.
Step 16
If you want to, you can remove the smaller bits of lettuce at the center, as they will not be useable for wrapping.
Step 17
Dunk lettuce into ice cold water to keep the leave as crunchy and fresh as possible.
Step 18
In the same mixing bowl as the chicken, add Szechuan Chili Sauce, and coat completely.
Step 19
Add roasted peanuts, half of the green onion and cilantro and 2/3 of the dumpling strips. Carefully fold mixture to combine, as to not break the dumpling strips.
Step 20
Using a rubber spatula and a long plate, pile mixture long and high to create a mountain shape.
Step 21
Garnish with remaining dumpling strips, green onions, cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 22
Serve with your favourite sauces, using tongs to add mixture to a lettuce cup, and enjoy!
