Wonton Filling

Frying
Dipping Sauce (optional)
Method
Prepare the Filling
Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Assemble the Wontons
Fill the Wrappers
Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Dampen the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger.
Seal the Wontons
Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal tightly. Alternatively, you can bring the corners together to form a pouch. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Fry the Wontons
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Fry the Wontons
Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain the Wontons
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce (optional)
Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili sauce, and toasted sesame seeds. Stir well and set aside for serving.
