• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. When oil is 350° F, almost bubbling, add wontons in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan.
• Fry in small batches until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the oil a strainer or tongs and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Serve wontons warm with a dipping sauce made from equal parts mustard and honey, plus soy sauce to taste. These are also good with soy sauce and sriracha and hot Chinese mustard.

FRIED WONTONS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the ground pork, shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper together. Stir to combine well to form a sticky filling.
• To wrap the wontons, lay a piece of the wonton wrapper on your palm and add 1/2 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Use 1 teaspoon filling if you are a beginner.) Dip your index finger into the sealing water and trace it on the outer edges of the wonton wrapper.
• You can wrap the wontons three ways. To make a triangle, just fold it up to form a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal tight. To make them into the pretty shape (far left in the above picture), just pull the two corners of the triangle down so one overlaps the other, pinch and seal with water. To make them into Hong Kong style wonton (far right in the above picture), please watch my video at the top of this post.
• Heat up some oil for deep-frying. Once the oil is fully heated, deep fry the wontons until golden brown. Drain the excess oil with paper towels. Serve hot with Chinese sweet and sour sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce.

PORK FRIED WONTONS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine pork, green onion, 1 beaten egg, salt, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, water, and water chestnuts.

• In a bowl beat together the two eggs. Lay out a wonton wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
• Brush egg on 2 edges on one side of the wrapper. Fold over to form a triangle and seal the edges tightly with your finger. Repeat until all the wrappers and/or filling are used.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Fry wontons in batches until fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F.) and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the wontons are fried.

FRIED WONTONS

Steps:

• Start by making the filling. Simply combine the ground pork, chopped scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce, wine (or sherry), sugar, oil, water, and white pepper in a bowl. Whip everything together by hand for 5 minutes or in a food processor for 1 minute. You want the pork to look a bit like a paste.
• To make the wontons, take a wrapper, and add about a teaspoon of filling. Overstuffed wontons will pop open during the cooking process and make a mess. Use your finger to coat the edges with a little water (this helps the two sides seal together).
• For shape #1:
• Fold the wrapper in half into a rectangle, and press the two sides together so you get a firm seal. Hold the bottom two corners of the little rectangle you just made, and bring the two corners together, pressing firmly to seal. (Use a little water to make sure it sticks.)
• Shape #2:
• Fold the wonton in half so you have a triangle shape. Bring together the two outer corners, and press to seal (you can use a little water to make sure it sticks).
• Keep assembling until all the filling is gone (this recipe should make between 40 and 50 wontons). Place the wontons on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• At this point, you can cover the wontons with plastic wrap, put the baking sheet/plate into the freezer, and transfer them to Ziploc bags once they're frozen. They'll keep for a couple months in the freezer and be ready for the fryer whenever you're ready.
• To conserve oil, use a small pot to fry the wontons. Fill it with 2 to 3 inches of oil, making sure the pot is deep enough so the oil does not overflow when adding the wontons. Heat the oil to 350 degrees, and fry in small batches, turning the wontons occasionally until they are golden brown.
• If you have a small spider strainer or slotted spoon, you can use it to keep the wontons submerged when frying. This method will give you the most uniform golden brown look without the fuss of turning them. Remove the fried wontons to a sheet pan lined with paper towels or a metal cooling rack to drain.
• To make one or all of the sauces, simply mix the respective ingredients in a small bowl, and you're ready to eat!
