Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, Sichuan peppercorns, and aromatics. Mix well until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2
To assemble the wontons, lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place a small spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in a small amount of water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing the two opposite corners together to form a point. Press the edges together to seal the wonton. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the wontons to the pot, being careful not to overcrowd it. Cook the wontons for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove the wontons from the pot with a slotted spoon and drain off any excess water.
4
To make the chili oil sauce, combine the chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, and aromatics in a small saucepan. Heat the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is warm and fragrant. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the scallions and toasted peanuts.
5
To serve the Latiaozi, place the cooked wontons in a bowl and spoon the chili oil sauce over the top. Garnish with additional scallions and peanuts, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
