Assemble the Wontons
Take a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the pork filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal. You can also shape it into a purse by bringing the corners together and pinching to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Frying

Fry the Wontons
In a deep skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the assembled wontons in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Sweet and Sour Sauce Preparation

Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Heat over medium heat while stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches a desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
