Wonton Filling and Toppings

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Add beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  4. 4

    Shred the Beef

    Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Mix the shredded beef with some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist.

  5. 5

    Prepare Wontons

    Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add a small spoonful of the shredded beef mixture to the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper over to create a triangle, and press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

  6. 6

    Fry the Wontons

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the wontons in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the crispy wontons and top each with a dollop of creamed chevre, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of pepper-basil jam.
