Fried Shrimp Wontons Recipes

FRIED SHRIMP WONTONS

Steps:

• Cut 2/3 of the shrimp into small pieces. Mince the remaining 1/3 of the shrimp into ground shrimp. Combine the shrimp with all the Seasoning ingredients together. Stir to mix well.
• Assemble the shrimp wontons by placing a piece of the wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling on the middle of the wrapper. Do not overfill.
• Fold to form a tri-angle shape. Using the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, press and squeeze both sides of the wonton towards to the center to form the folds. Make sure the wontons are sealed tightly. Place the wrapped wontons on a floured surface or baking sheet.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of the oil in a wok or small stockpot to 350°F (176°C) for deep-frying. Gently drop the shrimp wontons into the oil and deep-fry in batches until they turn golden brown. Dish out with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess oil with paper towels. Serve warm with the mayonnaise.

EASY FRIED WONTONS (WITH SHRIMP OR TOFU)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Drain tofu and slice into very small cubes to equal 1 cup.
• Place in a bowl and add the green onion, hoisin, and sugar. Gently stir to combine.​
• Thaw and drain if using frozen shrimp.
• Place in a bowl and add the green onion, hoisin, and sugar, stirring to combine.
• Using a cutting board or another clean surface, lay out 6 wonton wrappers at a time. You will also need 1/2 cup water and a pastry brush if you have one (otherwise you can use your fingers). Wet the outside borders of each wrapper.
• Place a little filling (about 3/4 teaspoons) in the center of each wrapper.
• Fold wrapper in half to create a triangle with the filling inside its base. Press sides together.
• You can fry them up like this or continue folding by bringing the two outside corners of the triangle together, overlapping them a little and securing with a little water. They should be able to stand up, like artfully folded serviettes.
• Place oil in a small to medium frying pan (oil should be at least 3/4- to 1-inch deep). Turn heat to high and don't leave the stove. Wait until you see squiggly lines forming on the bottom of the pan.
• Shortly after this, test the readiness of the oil by dipping the corner of a wrapper into the oil. If it begins to fry, oil is hot enough; if not, wait a minute longer.
• Place wontons in the hot oil and fry, turning until all sides are light golden brown.
• Remove from heat and set on a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to drain. Continue until all the wontons are fried.
• Serve with your choice of homemade Thai sweet chili sauce , store-bought Thai chili sauce, or sweet and sour sauce .
• Enjoy!
