Gyoza Chicken Wontons Coconut Rice (Trader Joe's style)

One of my favorite ways to jazz up Trader Joe's ingredients for a quick, healthy, and flavor-packed meal! Steaming the gyoza in a mixture of light coconut milk and peanut sauce infuses terrific flavor and imparts a creamy texture. Dinner for 4 in 25 mins for under $20!

Serves 4

2 packages Chicken Gyoza
1 package Mini Cilantro Chicken Wontons
2 packages Microwave rice (Jasmine, Brown, or Rice Medley)
2 cans Light Coconut Milk
1/4 c Peanut Sauce (the TJs one works)
3 tbl Soy Sauce
2 tbl Sake
3 tbl Sesame Oil

- Heat 2 tbl sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the Gyoza, and cook for 5 mins stirring occasionally so they don't stick
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add one can of light coconut milk and the peanut sauce, cover and cook for 15 mins
- Microwave the mini cilantro chicken wontons, covered with a damp cloth, for 3 mins
- Heat remaining sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add wontons, and cook shaking the pan for 3 mins
- Deglaze pan with sake, add soy sauce, cook (stirring often) until the liquid is dissolved and the wontons have a slightly crispy exterior
- Cook rice according to the package adding 1/4 c light coconut milk to the rice before it is microwaved
- Serve Gyoza and wontons over the rice - Enjoy!!
