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 toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 12 ounce package square wonton wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
- sweet chili sauce for serving optional
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.
