The Slanted Doors Famous Pork-And-Shrimp Wontons With Spicy Chile Oil

• 6 ounces ground pork
• 3 ounces shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
• 3 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts
• 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions, white and light green parts only
• 1/4 cup fried shallots
• 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper
• 100 wonton skins (about two 1-pound packages)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

1. To make the filling, in a large bowl stir all the ingredients together.
2. To test the seasoning, fry a small piece in a skillet and taste, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
3. To form the wontons, turn the filling out onto a plate.
4. Hold a wrapper in one hand and, using your other hand, scrape about 1/2 teaspoon of the filling from the plate with a small spoon.
5. Place the filling in the center of the wrapper and pinch the wrapper so that the filling forms a ball and the extra dough forms a skirt.
6. Keep the wontons covered as you continue wrapping; you dont want them to dry out.
7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
8. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil to the pot.
9. Add the wontons, about a dozen at a time, and boil until they float to the top, about 2 minutes.
10. Using a slotted spoon or a spider, remove the wontons from the water and set aside to drain in a colander.
11. To make the chile oil, in a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil until shimmering.
12. Turn the heat off and add the chile flakes.
13. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then strain into a serving bowl, discarding the red-pepper flakes.
14. Add the soy sauce, vinegar and sugar to the bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
15. Sprinkle the sauce generously over the wontons.
16. Serve warm.
