Wontons are a staple in Asian cooking, and are personally something I order every time they’re on the menu. Learn how to make goose wontons, a delicious and wild game twist on a classic food, in this featured post from Wild Game Cuisine.
Goose wontons are big flavor in a tiny package and the perfect way to enjoy dinner after a hard day of hunting.
The waterfowl wontons are filled with a tasty blend of wild specklebelly goose meat, fresh ginger, minced garlic, sweet red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, water chestnuts, Hoisin sauce, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Chop, pulse and chill for an hour or two before filling the aromatic meat mixture into individual wonton wrappers. Working in batches, drop the goose filled wontons into a pot of low boiling water and cook until each one rises to the top.
Drain the goose wontons and serve over steamed rice garnishing with chopped green onions and chili oil.

(You can prepare all wonton filling ingredients and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight to marinate before making the wontons. This step enhances the overall aromatics and flavor of the wonton filling.)
Add all of the wonton filling ingredients to a food processor and pulse to blend into a minced meat texture.
Place 1 teaspoon of the wonton filing into the center of the wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and seal forming a triangle.
Bring the two side points up and over the filling and pinch the ends. Repeat until done.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a low boil on the stove. Working in batches, gently drop about 10 goose wontons into the water so not to overcrowd. Cook the first batch for 2-3 minutes or until the wontons float to the top.
Remove the wontons with slotted spoon, drain and set aside. Repeat until all the wontons are cooked.
