How to Make Asian-Inspired BBQ Crispy Pork Wontons

Lay one wonton wrapper on a flat surface, then brush each side with oil and sprinkle with salt. Gently press center of wonton wrapper into a muffin tin.

Repeat with the rest of your wonton wrappers, alternatingย spaces in the muffin tinsย so that the wrappers do not touch each other. (We used two muffin tins so we could bake all 12 at once, but you could bake in two rounds if you only have one muffin tin.)

Bake for 8 minutes at 350ยฐF. Allow to cool enough to handle safely.

To prepare the crispy pork belly filling:

While your wontons are baking, add 1 package of Curly’s RoadTrip Eats Alabama Style Pulled Pork Belly to a large sautรฉ pan that’s been lightly oiled.

Iย loveย Curlyโ€™s RoadTrip Eats because they are a huge time-saver. Instead of spending all day preparing barbecue, you can have an amazing dish on the table in a fraction of the time. Curlyโ€™s RoadTrip Eats barbecue is availableย in your grocerโ€™s refrigerated meat case.

Add 2 tablespoons of mirin to your pan with the Curly’s pulled pork belly. The mirin brings extra sweetness and a hint of Asian-inspired flavor.

Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat begins to caramelize and liquid reduces. Set aside.

To prepare the sweet chili aioli:

In a large mixing bowl addย 1 cup mayo, 1 cup sweet chili sauce, 1/4 cup lime juice, and zest of 1 lime. Whisk ingredients together until well combined. Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to a weekย โ€” this sauce is addicting, so you might want to use it on just about everything!

Put it all together:

Layer about 1 tablespoon pork belly in each baked wonton cup. Top with diced avocado, chopped green onion, and a drizzle of citrus chili aioli. Enjoy!
