There are not many chicken wonton recipes using chicken as the main ingredient. That is, without adding pork.

Did I mention that most chinese wontons are made with ground pork? We Chinese love our pigs. Ok, just kidding.

Eating pork in Singapore is so normal, I didn't even think anyone (except Muslims and Jews) would refuse to eat pork.

However when I was staying in Melbourne for 2 years, I realize that there are MANY people who don't eat pork.

I have some friends who avoid pork like the plague and wouldn't touch anything with pork in them.

Many Chinese restaurants now serve chicken wontons, but do you know that these chicken wontons are still likely to contain a little fatty pork? It is to make the wontons juicier. I know it seems to defeat the purpose. I suspect Chinese chefs can't understand why anyone would hate pork.

Don't worry. You can learn to make your own pure chicken wontons with these wonton recipes using chicken only. No pork included.
