Fried Wontons
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Assemble the Wontons
Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal. For a decorative touch, you can bring the two corners of the triangle together and pinch to seal.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of wonton; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the Wontons
Carefully add a few wontons to the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve
Serve the fried wontons hot, with your choice of dipping sauce such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.
