Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oil in a deep skillet or prepare a muffin tin for baking wonton wrappers.

  4. Pour teriyaki sauce into the pan and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove crispy wonton shells and fill each with teriyaki chicken, topping with shredded cabbage, green onions, sesame seeds, or spicy mayo.
