Spicy Szechuan Wontons (Hong Yiu Chao Shou)

If you've made a ton of wontons or just happen to have some of the pre-made stuff in the freezer, why not digress and spice it up a bit? It doesn't always have to be about soup. Spicy Szechuan wontons are boiled wontons that are topped with a spicy sauce typically consisting of soy sauce, garlic, Chinese chili oil (layu), sugar, vinegar, scallions and ground Szechuan peppercorns. In this version, I use white pepper instead of Szechuan peppercorn since it's more readily available and imparts a lovely fragrance to the sauce.
Note on the sauce:
*You can buy frozen wontons from the market or make them yourself using my recipe for pork and shrimp wontons.
Note on the sauce:
**Szechuan pickled vegetables are spicy, sour & salty and found in the canned food section of many Asian markets.
Note on the sauce:
Feel free to add a pinch of ground Szechuan peppercorn to the sauce if you have it on hand.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add wontons. Bring back up to a boil and once they float to the top, cook for another 2 minutes. Remove to a plate using a slotted spoon.
