5 steps

1Mix the chicken, carrot, spring onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, pepper, cornflour and salt until sticky.
2Place a teaspoon in the centre of each wrapper, wet the edges and fold into a triangle. Press out the air, then bring the two side corners together and pinch.
3Heat the oil in a kadai to 175°C. Slide the wontons in gently, away from you, 6 to 8 at a time.
4Fry 3 minutes, turning, until golden. Drain on a rack. Cut one open to check the chicken is cooked through with no pink.
5Serve hot with sweet chilli sauce.
