this one time, we made a lot of shanghai wontons, more than a hundred! we obviously could not finish them all in one night. so we saved the leftover ones and made a spicy sauce to change up the flavor. it’s what we ate for lunch the next day.
now, you can apply the same spicy sauce for the frozen store-bought wontons. but if you want to roll up your sleeves and make your own wontons, check out our recipe here.
