This fried wonton recipe is easy to make. The distinctive flavor of the pork filling makes these wontons an appetizer everyone will crave. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard or sweet and sour sauce as desired.
Ingredients
- ¾ pound ground pork
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- 8 canned water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Kikkoman soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
- 1 (16 ounce) package wonton skins
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Mix pork, green onions, water chestnuts, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and ginger in a medium bowl until well combined. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon pork mixture into the center of a wonton skin. Fold wonton skin over filling to form a triangle. Turn the top of the triangle down to meet the fold, then flip over. Moisten one corner with water; pull the opposite corner over the moistened corner to overlap, then press together firmly to seal. Repeat to make remaining wontons.
Step 2
Heat oil in a wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep-fry a few wontons at a time until brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
