Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 5 ounces water chestnuts finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger grated
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in sausage, break it up and cook until it starts to brown.
  2. Add in water chestnuts, ginger, and garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  3. Turn off the heat and add in soy sauce and green onions. Stir until all is well combined.
  4. In a deep saucepan, add in 3-4 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Get a small bowl with a small amount of water in it for the sealing of the wontons, Brush the edges of the individual wonton wrapper.
  6. Put about 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each wonton. Fold the wontons by bringing opposite corners together into the center, and repeat with the remaining corners. Pinch shut and be sure to remove any air pockets.
  7. Fry wontons in the hot oil 4 at a time until golden brown. This will only take about a minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the golden-brown wontons from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Serve with a dipping sauce of a Sweet Asian Chili sauce or a Sweet and Sour sauce.
