Asian Slaw
- 1 (397g) bag coleslaw mix

Wonton Tacos
- 16 wonton wrappers
- Sweet chili sauce, to serve
- Chopped cilantro, to serve
- Sesame seeds, to serve
Instructions
- Prepare the Wonton Shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray or brush the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or oil. Drape each wrapper over a 9×13 inch baking dish edge to form a cup shape. Bake for 7-8 minutes, carefully watching to prevent burning. Remove and gently separate the shells while pliable, then return them to the oven for another 7-8 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the diced chicken breast with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Heat a skillet over high heat and sauté the chicken mixture for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until fully cooked and coated with sauce.
- Mix the Slaw: While the chicken cooks, combine coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the cooked chicken into each crispy wonton shell. Top with a generous amount of slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Serve: Serve the chicken wonton tacos immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy shells and fresh toppings. Ideal as an appetizer or main dish.
Notes
- Watch the wonton shells closely during baking to avoid burning.
- You can prepare the slaw ahead of time to allow flavors to meld.
- For added heat, drizzle sriracha or your favorite hot sauce alongside the sweet chili sauce.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or halved depending on serving size.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce and wonton wrappers to make the dish gluten-free.
