Thai Wonton Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    peanut sauce
    1/2 cup peanut butter
    1/2 cup hoisin sauce
    1 tablespoon honey
    2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons minced ginger
    3 minced garlic cloves
    2 teaspoons soy sauce
    1 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce
    1 tablespoon oyster sauce
    2 tablespoons water
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    meat
    1 lb pork or 1 lb chicken, cubed into 1/4-1/8-inch squares
    wonton wrapper
    30 -40 wonton wrappers (I use Nasoya brand)
    1 cup frying oil
    Slaw
    1/2 head cabbage, chopped
    2 carrots, chopped
    1 red onion, chopped
    4 green onions, chopped
    3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
    2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    salt
Preparation
    FOR SLAW.
    Add all vegetable ingredients together, toss with rice vinegar and salt, cover and set aside.
    FOR SAUCE.
    Heat up olive oil in frying pan.
    Lightly toast sesame seeds.
    Combine all ingredients in pan, bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer.
    FOR MEAT.
    Cook cubed chicken or pork until almost done.
    Add simmering sauce to meat. Cook through.
    FOR WONTONS.
    Heat oil to frying temperature.
    Fry wontons in a \"taco\" shape (I find this is most easily done by letting the wontons cook for a second or two, then folding them in half. Make sure you leave enough space to put the meat filling in the taco and not seal them shut).
    Assemble wontons by adding meat filling in center. Sprinkle with slaw that has been set aside.
