Fried Wonton Recipe
Description
The recipe combines ground pork with finely minced shiitake mushrooms, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and seasonings to make a well-flavored filling. Wonton wrappers are filled with a small portion of the mixture, then folded into triangular purse shapes sealed with water to prevent leaking during frying.
Deep-frying in hot oil renders the wontons golden brown and crispy in about 3 to 5 minutes. The contrast between the crunchy wrapper and juicy filling is a defining characteristic. Serving them with sweet chili sauce adds a touch of heat and sweetness that complements the savory filling.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms finely minced
- 1/4 cup green onions thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 12 ounce package wonton wrapper square
- vegetable oil for frying
- sweet chili sauce optional, for serving
Instructions
- Place the pork, mushrooms, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, ginger and garlic in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered so that they don't dry out. Brush the two edges of the wonton wrapper farthest away from you with water.
- Place 3/4 teaspoon of the pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over into a triangle shape, then bring the two bottom corners together to make a purse shape. Use a bit of water to "glue" the bottom corners together.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep pot to 375 degrees F.
- Fry 6-8 of the wontons at a time for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and repeat the process with the remaining wontons.
- Serve immediately, with a side of sweet chili sauce if desired.
