  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Peel and devein the shrimp, removing tails and any shell. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

    Finely chop the garlic and green onions, and place them in a mixing bowl with the shrimp.

Wonton Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Fill the Wontons

    Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, and seal the edges by pressing down firmly.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  3. 8

    Fry the Wontons

    Carefully place the filled wontons in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Kalbi Cooking

    Grill the Kalbi

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated short ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and nicely charred.

  2. 10

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
